Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; set aside. 

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