How to Make Best Banana Bread Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed bananas, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
