Equipment

Ingredients

2 ½ cups Cake Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 cup Brown Sugar
3 large Bananas Mashed about 1 ½ cups
2 large Eggs
½ cup Butter Melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter. Set that aside.
In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well and set that aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and ¾ cup of brown sugar. Mix well.
Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl. Mash them well.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and mix all the ingredients together.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar. Bake until a toothpick is inserted into the center and comes out clean. Allow the banana bread to cool before cutting into it.

Notes

Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Do not refrigerate this bread as it will go stale quickly.
If you don't have cake flour, you can use all purpose flour instead.
Feel free to mix in chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, add a swirl of Nutella, or a swirl of peanut butter. This is a great versatile banana bread recipe, so feel free to add your favorite mix ins!
