  4. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture.

  6. Pour the mixture into a greased loaf pan and smooth out the top.

  2. Add brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until bubbling.

Notes

The riper the bananas, the better for a moist loaf. Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
