Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas (3 large bananas will work)
- ¾ cup sugar or coconut sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Grease and flour a loaf pan and set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, mash the bananas and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir the sugars together with the butter. Then add the eggs and mix thoroughly.
