Serves: Makes 1 bread loaf in an 8 x 4 pan
Ingredients
  • Nonstick vegetable oil spray
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1¼ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup mascarpone
  • ½ stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4-5 large very ripe bananas, mashed
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly coat a loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat brown sugar, mascarpone, and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend and scraping down the sides and bottom of bowl as needed.
  3. Add flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Add bananas and mix together with a large spoon just until combined. Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top.
  4. Bake bread until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 60–65 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let bread cool before slicing.
