Ingredients

Brown Sugar Banana Bread
4 ripe bananas, cut into chunks
1 ¼ cups light brown sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 jumbo egg
¼ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Brown Sugar Banana Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Place bananas into a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and smoosh bananas with your fingers until well mashed. Set aside.

Step 3

Mix together brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Cut a corner from the plastic bag; squeeze mashed bananas into brown sugar mixture in the bowl. Add egg, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla; beat on medium speed until well combined. Mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt on low speed just until smooth, about 1 minute. Spread into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
