Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, I start by combining the mashed bananas, softened butter, and brown sugar until smooth. The fragrance gets me every time! Then, I whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract, making sure everything is well incorporated. This mixture is so creamy and sweet that I can hardly resist sampling it!
