Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
  2. Mix mashed bananas, melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the banana mixture. Stir until combined.

  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Notes
