Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x5 loaf pan by spraying it with baking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
Peel your ripe bananas and add them to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas until they are broken down. Small lumps are okay.
Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and use a whisk to combine.
Add the brown sugar and the 2 cups of self-raising flour to the wet ingredients and combine until the flour is moistened.
Gently pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan.
If desired, use an extra banana, slice it lengthwise, and gently place it on top of the bread batter.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when entered into the center of the loaf.
Allow the bread to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing it from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Use the ripest bananas possible. Black peels are ideal — the sweeter and softer the banana, the more flavor and moisture it adds.
Self-rising flour can be substituted with 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Do not overmix the batter. Stir just until the flour is moistened or the bread will turn out tough.
For the banana on top, slice it lengthwise and gently place it on the batter before baking.
