Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13-cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Gently fold in half of the cornflakes (60 grams) to add some crunch to the bread batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining cornflakes (60 grams) evenly over the top of the batter to create a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
