Ingredients

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (softened) - 115 grams - 1/2 cup equals 8 tablespoons
2 Eggs (large)
2 Bananas (ripe & large sized) - 230 grams - 2 large bananas equal roughly 1 cup of mashed bananas. See the tips section below if you have less than a cup of mashed bananas.
1/3 Cup Milk - 77 milliliters
2 Cups Flour (all purpose flour) - 240 grams
1/2 Cup White Granulated Sugar - 100 grams
1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar (packed cup) - 107 grams
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract - 5 milliliters
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda - 5 milliliters
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder (aluminum free) - 5 milliliters
1/2 Teaspoon Salt - 2.5 milliliters

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
If necessary, grease/spray the bread pan or use baking parchment paper to line the bread pan.
Mash bananas with a fork.
Lightly beat eggs.
Soften the butter in a microwave.
Stir eggs, milk, bananas and butter together.
Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
Optional – If you want to enhance this 2 banana bread recipe, you can stir in 1 cup of your family’s favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
Bake in the oven for 60-65 minutes or until golden brown.
Take bread pan out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
Optional - Right after taking the bread pan out of the oven, use a long wooden skewer to test if the banana bread is completely cooked. Wear oven mitts as the bread pan will be hot. See the tips section for more details on this classic "toothpick" test.
After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
