Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 75 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large oven-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter in the preheating oven for about 2-3 minutes. Ensure it doesn't burn.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, remove the bowl from the oven (use oven mitts) and mash the ripe bananas directly in the same bowl until smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well to combine after each addition.

Step 6

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt directly into the same bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
