- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Stir in melted butter, eggs, sugars, and vanilla until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt for even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Add any optional mix-ins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
