Mash 4 of the bananas in a large bowl with a fork until mostly smooth to make 1 1/2 cups. Add the eggs and 1/2 cup brown sugar; stir until combined.

Add the flour to the banana mixture; stir just until combined and no dry streaks remain, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Slice the remaining banana in half lengthwise; arrange the halves on top, cut side up. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes; use the parchment paper overhang.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
