Ingredients

• 3 large overripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 5

Stir in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring all wet ingredients are well combined.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 8

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 9

Add the milk and gently stir until just combined, ensuring there are no pockets of flour left.

Step 10

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 12

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
