Take your ripe bananas and mash them until smooth and slightly chunky. This will give your Banana Bread the perfect sweet base.
Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla to your mashed bananas. Blend everything until it’s a delightful creamy mix.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl. This combination sets the foundation for your Banana Bread.
Gently fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients. Keep it light to avoid a dense texture.
Feel free to incorporate chocolate chips or nuts. This is your chance to make the loaf uniquely yours!
Transfer the batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top with your spatula.

The best Banana Bread comes from using overripe bananas. Their sweetness will make your loaf tender and flavorful.
