How to Make Moist Banana Bread
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, mixing gently.
  5. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined.
  6. Mix in optional add-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes and check with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
