Servings 1 loaf (about 8-10 slices)

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large ripe bananas provide natural sweetness and moisture
  • 2 large eggs help bind the ingredients together
  • 1 ½ cups self-rising flour eliminates the need for baking powder
  •  
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey adds a touch of sweetness

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and maple syrup (or honey) and mix well.
  • Gently fold in the self-rising flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don’t have self-rising flour, use 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour + 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
  • Add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or cinnamon can enhance the flavor.
  • For extra moisture, add 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
