Step-by-Step Instructions
First off, I like to get my ingredients prepped and ready. So in a mixing bowl, I combine the ripe bananas with the softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. I mash them together until well mixed but still a bit chunky for texture. Then, I crack in the eggs and whisk everything together until it’s nice and smooth. At this point, the sweet aroma of bananas and butter fills my kitchen. It’s a beautiful thing! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
