all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp.
baking soda
1/2 tsp.

1 tsp.
vanilla extract
1/2 cup
butter (1 stick), softened
1/2 cup
granulated sugar
1/2 cup

2

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease 8 1⁄2"-x-4 1⁄2" metal loaf pan. In a medium bowl, with wire whisk, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, stir together bananas and vanilla until blended.
2. Step 2In a large bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low; alternately add flour mixture and banana mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Beat batter just until blended.
