If you have ripe bananas sitting in your kitchen and don’t want to throw them away, you have to try this soft, moist banana bread —simple and delicious. Tip: Use very ripe bananas for deeper flavor, and stop mixing as soon as the flour is incorporated to keep the loaf tender. Banana bread is a classic way to use overripe bananas and is especially popular during cooler months, when easy, oven-baked recipes make sense. This loaf works well for breakfast, with coffee, or as a make-ahead bake that keeps well for a couple of days.

Preheat Oven

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (top and bottom, no fan).
2
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, or grease the inside of the baking form to prevent sticking.

Prepare Wet Ingredients

3
In a bowl, mash 3 Bananas using a fork until they are mostly smooth (a few small lumps are okay).
4
Add 4 Eggs to the mashed bananas.
5
Add 7 g of Vanilla Extract.
6
Mix these ingredients together.
7
Melt 80 g Butter either in a microwave-safe bowl or in a small saucepan over low heat.
8
Let it cool slightly.
9
Pour the melted butter into the banana and egg mixture. Stir to combine.

Prepare Dry Ingredients

10
Add 150 g Flour in a bowl.
11
A pinch of Salt
12
1 tsp Baking Soda

Combine Mixtures

13
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
14
Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon only until the ingredients are just combined and you no longer see streaks of dry flour. Be careful not to overmix.

Pour Batter and Add Topping

15
Pour the finished batter evenly into the prepared baking form.
16
Prepare the remaining (fourth) banana by cutting it lengthwise into two halves.
17
Arrange the banana halves on top of the batter.

Decorate (Optional)

If not, bake for a few more minutes and test again.

Remove the banana bread from the oven.
24
Let the bread cool in the baking form for about 10-15 minutes.
