Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth.
  3. Whisk in melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. Sprinkle in baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; mix gently.
  5. Fold in flour just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in optional nuts or chocolate chips.

  8. Bake 60–70 minutes, tenting with foil if needed.

Notes

Brown sugar adds extra moisture and depth of flavor. For even better texture, let the bread rest overnight before slicing. Freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
