Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Prepare the Oven and Pan
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients
  1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the Bread
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
  1. Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
