- 2 large eggs
- 1½ tsp vanilla
- 3 frozen bananas thawed and mashed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease 8x4-inch loaf pan.
- Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.

- Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

Notes
The extra liquid from being frozen is one of the reasons the banana bread stays so moist. However, if you would like to use ripened bananas that haven't been frozen, you can add a few tablespoons of milk to the batter so that the batter isn't as thick.
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
