3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4x8-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
-
Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
-
Mix in the baking soda and salt.
-
Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
-
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
If you prefer a vegan version, swap the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 3 tbsp water) and use dairy-free butter or oil.
-
Add-ins like chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans can be stirred in for extra flavor and texture.
