The Best Banana Bread Recipe You’ll Ever Try

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 bananas)
)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients alternately with the mashed bananas, beating just until combined.
4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips

• Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.



• Don't overmix the batter, or the bread will be tough.
• Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
