Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 medium ripe bananas (about 1¼ to 1½ cups mashed)

• 1/3 cup (76g) unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• Pinch of salt

• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

• 1 large egg, beaten

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1½ cups (205g) all-purpose flour

 Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.

2. Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Add the beaten egg, sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir to combine. Gently fold in the flour until just incorporated; be careful not to overmix.

5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
