Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3–4 medium ripe bananas (or 2 large)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 8×4 inch loaf pans by lining them with parchment paper or greasing them well.
- In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a hand mixer until fluffy. Add in the eggs and mix until fully combined.
- Gradually incorporate flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
