Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4
Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few flour streaks are okay.
Step 5
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Step 6
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 7
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
