Ingredients diff
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps diff
- Heat oven to 350F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash bananas well, then whisk in sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt just until no dry pockets remain.
- Scrape batter into the pan and smooth the surface.
- Bake 50 to 65 minutes until a tester comes out with moist crumbs; cool fully before slicing.
Technique notes diff
- Using very ripe bananas | Ripeness increases sugar and aroma precursors. | It intensifies flavor without extra sweetener.
- Temperature control before and during bake | Consistent dough and oven temperature regulates steam release, set rate, and browning kinetics. | This recipe depends on crisp structure and even doneness rather than uneven browning.
