  • 0.33 cups Granulated Sugar Consider reducing to ½ cup or swapping with coconut sugar for a healthier twist.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Mash 3-4 very ripe bananas until smooth and creamy with small lumps remaining.
  3. Pour in ⅓ cup of melted butter, whisk in ¾ cup of granulated sugar, and stir in 2 large eggs until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
