How to Make Banana Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 ½ cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas) until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
