Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced ripe bananas, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold until bananas are coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk self-rising flour, whole milk, and granulated sugar until just combined. Lumps are okay.
  4. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and gently spoon the banana mixture over the top without stirring.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes until top is golden brown and bubbling. The center should be firm.
