Step-by-Step Instructions for Moist Banana Bread with 3 Ripe Bananas
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the 3 ripe bananas until smooth yet slightly chunky.
  3. Combine the melted butter and sugar with the mashed bananas until creamy.
  4. Add the 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  5. Gently fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt; mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes; a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
