Techniques
Set the oven to 350. If the bananas are yellow with some green, bake them on a tray at 350 about 10 minutes until blackened and cool them.
- 210 g all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl until evenly distributed.
Measuring the flour right
- 3 whole very ripe bananas
- 113 g room temperature butter
Peel and mash the bananas, leaving small chunks or smooth as preferred.
- 165 g light brown sugar
In a stand mixer with the paddle, cream the soft butter with the brown sugar, crumbled in, on high for 3 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down as needed.
Soft butter and brown sugar
- 2 whole large room temperature eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, cracked into a small bowl first, scraping down between and after; add the vanilla.
Eggs one at a time and vanilla
Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until almost combined, then finish folding by hand with a spatula until the flour just disappears; overmixing activates the gluten and makes it gummy and dense.
- spray
Spray a 9 by 5 loaf pan and line with a parchment cradle; add the batter and smooth the top.
