¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 ⅓ cups mashed overripe bananas
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Advice
You can flavor banana bread with vanilla instead of cinnamon, add chocolate chips or roughly chopped walnuts or almonds. If you like, you can decorate the cake with a banana cut in half lengthwise.
Storage
Store the banana bread for a couple of days under a glass jar. It can be frozen once cooked and cooled, whole or in portions.
