Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash 2-3 ripe bananas until a mix of smooth and slightly chunky textures is achieved.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt ½ cup of butter; then whisk in 2 large eggs and ¼ cup of milk until well combined.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the mashed bananas and stir gently to blend.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  8. Optionally, mix 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
