4. Once creamed, add in the flour mix into the butter mix until it has the consistency of brown sugar.

5. Add in the eggs one at a time.

6. Then, fold in the mashed banana.

7. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

This recipe is so great that you can add more to it based on your preference!

Craving some hints of chocolate? Add in a cup of chocolate chips into the mix after folding in the mashed bananas.

Want to add some nutty crunch? Add some chopped nuts of your choice; a cup will do, and it will make the difference.

You can totally get creative with this one. Just be sure to keep the heat in the electric oven or gas oven at the right temperature to get that good rise and pop on top. Nobody wants flat banana bread, of course.
