3/4 cup sugar

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  4. Mix in the baking soda and salt.
  5. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  6. Stir in the flour until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Notes

  • Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • If you want to keep it longer, wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze it for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat banana bread by slicing and microwaving for 15-20 seconds or toasting in a toaster oven until warmed through.
  • If using frozen bananas, thaw them before mashing.
  • For a vegan version, swap the egg with a flaxseed egg and use plant-based butter.
  • For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
