In a bowl, thoroughly mash the bananas and set the mixture aside.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside as well.

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
