Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, I start by creaming the softened butter and granulated sugar together until it’s light and fluffy—this usually takes about 2-3 minutes with my electric mixer. Then, I add in the mashed bananas and mix just until combined. Next, I crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract, giving everything a good whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
