Step-by-Step:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch pan or line with parchment.
2. Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth. It’s okay if it’s a little lumpy!
3. Whisk in the eggs until the mixture is fully combined and pale golden.
4. Stir in any extras like cinnamon, vanilla, or chocolate chips if using.
5. Pour into the pan and gently smooth the top.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool before slicing—this helps it firm up for clean, cake-like slices.
