Moist Banana Bread with Ripe Bananas

Firstly, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements). Next, lightly coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a thin layer of cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking.

Then, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt until well combined. In another large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of softened butter until smooth.

Add 2 large eggs and 2-3 mashed ripe bananas to the bowl with the sugar and butter mixture, beating until well incorporated. Gradually stir this banana-butter mixture into the flour mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Now, bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
