Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl mash the 4 overly ripe bananas using the back side of a fork until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 3

Add the room temperature eggs to the mashed bananas one at a time, stirring until each addition is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 5

Add the self-rising flour and stir until fully combined and you achieve a thick batter with only a few lumps remaining. Be careful not to over mix the batter or your banana bread could turn out rubbery.

Step 6

Pour the banana bread batter into a lightly greased 9.5 x 5 inch loaf pan.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan on the lower center rack of a 350°F (177°C) preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs. Avoid over baking to keep the bread tender and moist.

Step 8

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
