Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of an 8x4-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the sugar, melted butter, and eggs to the bananas. Stir together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just moistened. Do not overmix.
Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
