Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper on the two longer sides to help lift the bread out later.
- In a large bowl, mash the over-ripe bananas. Add the packed light brown sugar and melted butter, and continue to mash until the mixture is almost completely smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk everything together until smooth.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan using the parchment paper overhangs and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
