Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- If necessary, grease/spray the bread pan or use baking parchment paper to line the bread pan.
- Mash bananas with a fork.
- Lightly beat eggs.
- Soften the butter in a microwave.
- Stir eggs, milk, bananas and butter together.
- Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
- Optional - If you want to enhance this 2 banana bread recipe, you can stir in 1 cup of your family's favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
- Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
- Bake in the oven for 60-65 minutes or until golden brown.
- Take bread pan out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
- Optional - Right after taking the bread pan out of the oven, use a long wooden skewer to test if the banana bread is completely cooked. Wear oven mitts as the bread pan will be hot. See the tips section for more details on this classic "toothpick" test.
- After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with a bright yellow peel and brown spots.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature: The ideal baking temperature for banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help the bread to bake evenly without overbrowning.
- Use a toothpick to test the banana bread: Insert a toothpick into the center of the banana bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done baking. If it comes out with wet batter attached, the bread needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect loaf of banana bread every time. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give one of these recipes a try.
