Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving excess on the two longer sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, mash the over-ripe bananas. Add the brown sugar and melted butter, and continue to mash with the bananas until the mixture is almost completely smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and whisk until smooth. Then, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Fold these dry ingredients in with a rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan using the parchment paper overhangs and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
