Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3 medium Ripe Bananas The riper, the better; dark, speckled bananas deliver maximum flavor and sweetness.
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Essential for structure; swap it with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • 0.5 cups Sugar Essential for sweetness; you can reduce to ½ cup or use coconut sugar.
  • 0.5 cups Melted Butter Adds richness and delightful moisture; replace it with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 large Eggs They help bind the ingredients; room temperature eggs provide a smoother batter.

Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Fork or potato masher
  • spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients so everything is ready for mixing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth with a fork or potato masher.
  3. Add sugar, melted butter, and room temperature eggs to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gently sprinkle the all-purpose flour into your banana mixture. Fold in until just combined.
  5. Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  6. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it lightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Once baked, cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
