Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher. Add the melted butter to the bowl and mix until combined. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix again until the mixture is smooth (it’s okay to have some small banana chunks).

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until all ingredients are evenly combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.

5. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
