Ingredients
1 cup sugar (white or brown)
8 tbsp (1 stick) butter, softened
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 325˚. Butter/spray a loaf pan.

Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a small bowl, mash bananas. Mix in milk and cinnamon. Add banana mixture to the creamed mixture until well combined. Mix in baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add flour and mix together just until the flour disappears.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
