Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add pureed bananas, flour and condensed milk. Beat with an electric mixer until batter is smooth and no flour lumps remain. Your batter will be thick. If you are using a stand mixer, use the wire whisk attachment.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. If you touch the surface of the bread and apply light pressure, it should also bounce back. Let bread cool fully before slicing and serving.
Notes
To make your own self-rising flour, combine 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 2 1/4 tsp baking powder and 3/8 tsp salt. Whisk until evenly combined. Measure out 1 1/4 cups for the recipe. Do not use the full amount of flour. You can save the rest of the flour in an airtight container for a future recipe.
The reason for sharing a self-rising flour substitute that is more than needed for the recipe is that the amounts needed for the exact recipe requires more measuring (and more room for error) and a 1/16 tsp which not everyone owns. If you want to make the exact amount needed for the recipe, it is possible. The exact amounts you would need are 1 and 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 1 and 7/8 teaspoons baking powder and 5/16 tsp salt.

For best results, use very ripe or overripe bananas. Make sure to puree them in a food processor or blender until they have no lumps. They should have the consistency of a smoothie.
This is a sweet bread similar to classic banana bread. However, while most banana breads have a cakey texture, this bread has a chewier texture, more like regular bread (made with yeast).
I recommend you mix the batter with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Because of the lack of fat in the recipe, it is difficult for the flour to get fully mixed in with just a whisk.
