Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
