Easy banana bread recipe with brown sugar. This moist banana bread is simple to make.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf with nonstick cooking spray.
Mash bananas until almost smooth in a medium mixing bowl with a fork. Set aside. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. (If there are any lumps of brown sugar, rub them with your fingers to break them up.)
Add melted butter, eggs, and mashed bananas. Stir until a batter forms. Spread batter evenly into greased loaf pan.
Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean, about one hour.
In addition to checking the center of the loaf, be sure to check the very top of the loaf for doneness. If the top browns too quickly and the center isn't done, cover the loaf a lightly greased piece of foil. (If the center is baked and top of the loaf is raw, cover with a greased piece of foil and reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees. Bake until done.)
Cool loaf in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into slices with a serrated knife.
