Ingredients

5 small (4 1/2 oz. each) ripe spotted bananas, divided

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp. packed dark brown sugar, divided

2 cups (about 8 oz.) self-rising flour

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; set aside.

Mash 4 of the bananas in a large bowl using a fork until mostly smooth, equaling 1 1/2 cups. Add eggs and 1/2 cup brown sugar; stir until combined.

Add flour to the banana mixture; stir until just combined and no dry streaks remain, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.

Slice remaining banana in half lengthwise; lay banana halves over the top, cut side up. Evenly sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar over the top.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before removing using parchment paper overhang.

Serve warm and enjoy!
