Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then stir in the vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in the mashed bananas. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
