Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 9x4-inch loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 3 large and overripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour see Notes

Optional Add-Ins

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease or line a 9x4-inch loaf pan.
  • Place the bananas in a large bowl and mash well with a fork, until mostly smooth.
  • Add the eggs to the bowl and whisk to combine. Then, add the brown sugar and flour, then mix again until fully combined and no pockets of flour remain.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted down the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • Remove the banana bread from the oven, then let it cool completely before slicing.

Notes

If you don't have self-rising flour, you can use all purpose flour instead. But, if you use all purpose flour, make sure to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to this recipe.
