Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the bananas on a baking tray at 350°F for about 10 minutes until blackened, then let cool.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of room temperature butter and 3/4 cup of light brown sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and scrape down the bowl as needed.

Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the mashed bananas.

Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Transfer the batter to a greased 9x5 loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
