Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 1/2 cup neutral oil or melted butter

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large, very ripe bananas, mashed (1 cup)

  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Direction

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch metal loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs with oil (or butter), sugar and mashed bananas. Stir banana mixture into dry ingredients.

  2. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven for about 50 minutes, until bread is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Transfer pan to a rack and let cool for 15 minutes, then turn bread out onto rack and let cool completely. Dust top with confectioners' sugar, cut into slices and serve.
