Full Recipe:
3 medium or 2 large ripe bananas (about 1½ cups mashed)
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup honey
2 large egg
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, honey, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
