Ingredients

Scale

4 ripe bananas, mashed

200g unsalted butter, softened (about 1 3/4 sticks)

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2–4 tablespoons milk (optional, only if batter seems very thick)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with butter.

Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

Mix in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently, just until combined.

If batter is very thick, add 2–4 tbsp milk (optional).

Divide batter evenly between the two prepared pans.

Bake 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
