Scale
- 1/2 cup (113g) butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1 3/4 cups (220g) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
- Stir butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and bananas. Fold in flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nuts.
- Pour into the pan. Bake 50 to 60 minutes until a pick in the center comes out clean.

Notes
The bananas should be heavily spotted. Yellow bananas taste flat and bake a drier loaf. Do not turn this into banana pudding.
