Ingredients

  • 4 large overripe bananas +1 if you want to add one on top!
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and prep a standard 8.5-inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or spraying.

Notes

  • To substitute all-purpose flour for 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising flour, use 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder + 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • If your bananas aren't overripe, stick them on a baking tray in their peel and let them sit in the oven while it's preheating until the peel turns black.
