Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to make removal easier later.

Step 2

Meanwhile, peel and mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. If you like some texture, leave a few small chunks intact. This step will ensure the bread is packed with banana flavor.

Step 3

Next, add the melted butter, sugar, and self-rising flour to the mashed bananas. Stir everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense instead of soft and fluffy.

Step 4

After mixing, pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Then, place it in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. Start checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, your banana bread is done.

Step 5

Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This step helps the bread set properly, so it slices neatly.
