Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, aiming for 1 to 1.5 cups.
  3. Mix in the melted butter to the mashed bananas, then stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then add to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins gently into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, filling it no more than three-quarters full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
