Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas

1 cup of self-rising flour

1/2 cup of sugar (or honey/maple syrup for a healthier alternative)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to thoroughly mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The more ripe the bananas, the sweeter the bread will be!

      Combine Ingredients: Add the self-rising flour and sugar to the mashed bananas. If you’re using honey or maple syrup, add it now. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay.

        Pour into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            Cool and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your deliciously simple banana bread!
