Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the eggs and sugar to the mashed bananas, mixing until well combined.
  • Add Flour: Gradually fold in the self-rising flour until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider mixing in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  • If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
