How To Make ma's banana bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9" x 5" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel bananas and place in bowl of stand mixer or food processor. Melt butter and add to bowl. Mix until no lumps remain.
Step 3

In separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients. Incorporate this mixture into wet ingredients and blend completely.
Step 4

Transfer to prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Optional: sprinkle top of batter with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar before baking. This provides a sweet, crunchy top to your banana bread.
