A straightforward recipe for a moist banana bread, perfect for utilizing ripe bananas. This recipe offers an alternative for flour type and includes optional add-ins such as cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Melt the butter. Beat the sugar and softened butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs, then mix in the mashed bananas. Add the flour and baking soda, stirring just until combined. If desired, mix in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, or chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
