  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 small bananas)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×4-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth; set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
  4. Cream the softened butter and sugars in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer until light and fluffy.

  6. Mix in the mashed bananas until combined.
  7. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing.
