1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup soft butter
3/4 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350F.
Lightly grease a loaf pan ( I never grease my pan, I use a stoneware pan).
In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
In separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.
Stir banana mixture into flour mixture just to moisten.
Pour batter into loaf pan.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 70 -75 minutes (a long time because its so moist!) until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack.
