Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment, including a large mixing bowl and a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash the very ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth, aiming for a creamy consistency with minimal lumps.
- Mix in the melted butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.
- Stir in the granulated sugar and eggs until thoroughly blended.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, seeing streaks of flour but avoiding dry bits.
- Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes
Wrap cooled banana bread tightly in plastic wrap to keep it fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
