By RossanaV

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas (about 2 pounds or 6 large)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture until just moistened. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. 

Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.
