Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving some lumps for texture.
  3. Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil or melted butter until smooth.
  4. Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
