      1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
      2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
      3. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with just a few small lumps remaining.

      4. Add the softened butter to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.

      5. Mix in the slightly beaten eggs until fully incorporated.
      6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Do not overmix.

      7. If using nuts (such as chopped walnuts or pecans), fold them in at this stage.

      8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

      1. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
      2. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
