Ingredients
Scale
- 113 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams granulated sugar

- 3 bananas, mashed
- 170 grams buttermilk, room temperature
- 8 grams pure vanilla extract (2 teaspoons)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a whisk or hand mixer, beat the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until well combined.
