Banana Bread- The classic! Soft banana bread that requires just a few simple ingredients and tastes amazing.

Not gonna lie, I have eaten way too many of slices of this in my lifetime.  Serve it plain or with a little butter and it is just perfect.

Ingredients Needed

• Flour + Salt + Baking soda
• Ground cinnamon
• Brown sugar
• Eggs
• Butter
• Bananas
• Pin it for Later

Recipe Notes

• Don't  over mix your batter. You can simple mix it until there are no longer any dry spots in your batter. Overmixing can give you a dense banana bread. Which is, not that great.
• Butter: Be sure it's soften beforehand. Need it done quickly? A few tips.
• Bananas: You will need 2 cups of mashed bananas. This should be about 3 medium size bananas. The riper the banana, the better.
• Storage: Keep any leftovers in a covered container or storage bag. It's best eaten within a week.  If desired, you can freeze your bread. Let it cool completely, then, freeze it in a freezer-safe, covered container or storage bag.  It will be good for several months.

Total Time:
1 hr 45 mins

Yield:
6-8 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• dash of salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups mashed bananas

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch loaf pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Add in brown sugar, eggs and bananas. Beat well.
4. Add in flour mixture and beat until no dry spots remain. Don't over beat your batter.
5. Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Tip: If the top of banana bread is getting too dark, but it's still not fully baked, cover the pan loosely with a piece of foil. This will help prevent the top from burning.
