Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 3 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Loaf pan (9x5 inch)
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. You can leave some small lumps if you prefer.
  3. Stir the melted butter and sugar into the mashed bananas. Mix in the beaten egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
