Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well with a whisk or electric mixer until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter. Fold in any additional ingredients such as nuts or chocolate chips if desired. Once you have mixed all of the ingredients together, it is time to pour the mixture into a greased bread pan.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make sure the batter is evenly distributed in the pan, and smooth out the top with a spatula. If you like, you can sprinkle some additional sugar or cinnamon on top of the batter before baking.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When the banana bread is finished baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
Gently run a knife along the edges of the bread to loosen it, and then carefully invert the pan onto a wire rack. The bread should slide out easily. Allow the bread to cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving. Slice and serve with butter or your favorite spread. Enjoy your delicious homemade banana bread!
