Ingredients

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the bananas & sugar until smooth and evenly combined.
Add in the eggs & vanilla extract, again creaming together until smooth and evenly combined.
Mix in the melted butter, again until combined.
In a medium sized mixing bowl add the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and oats. Stir everything together until well combined.
Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture in the stand mixture, beating on low speed just until combined and the batter's fluffy.
Generously grease a 9" loaf pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to scrape the bowl and spread out evenly.
Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees for 38-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Set the loaf aside for 15 minutes to cool. Then using a bread knife, run it gently around the edges of the pan to release the bread from the pan.
Slowly turn the loaf out onto a wire rack, and let it finish cooling completely before slicing and serving.
Serve each slice as is, or topped with some butter, or a drizzle of syrup.
