- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10×5 loaf pan and lightly dust with flour.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.

- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let cool before slicing.
Notes
Ensure bananas are very ripe for best flavor and sweetness.
Tent with foil after 50 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Let the bread cool completely for easy slicing.
