For the Batter

  • ½ cup butter Can substitute with melted coconut oil or plant-based margarine.
  • 2 pieces eggs For vegan option, substitute each egg with ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the cooled melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in the sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  5. Gently fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, checking with a toothpick.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
