Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Two standard loaf pans

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Bananas As ripe as possible
  • 16 oz Granulated Sugar
  • 2 ea Eggs at room temperature
  • 8 oz Butter at room temperature
  • 3 cups AP Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven at 350°F/180°C
  • Butter and flour 2 standard loaf pans. You can use baking spray or any baking pan release.
  • Peel, mash and messure the bananas
  • Sift all the dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Place the butter and sugar on the bowl of your stand mixer. Let it mix until light and fluffy. It will take around two to three minutes. With a rubber spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure the ingredients are incorporated.
  • With the mixer on low to medium speed, start adding the banana puree, mixing until well combined. Don't over mix.
  • Add the eggs one by one, mixing after each addition.
  • Add the vanilla, and go ahead and scrape all sides again.
  • Turn your mixer down to low speed and start adding thr dry ingredients little by little. I use one of the measuring cups. This way I dont make a mess or get covered in flour. Continue to add the dry ingredients and mix until well combine. Make sure to not overmix. This step can even be done by hand.
