½ cup white sugar
½-3/4 cup brown sugar (I used ½ cup)
8 tablespoons butter, softened (1 stick or 113 grams)
2 eggs, beaten
3 large extra ripe bananas (1½ cups mashed)
2 cups all-purpose flour

3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.
4. Beat in the eggs until combined.
5. In a medium size bowl, mash bananas. Fold in the bananas with the butter and sugar mixture.
6. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
