Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 3 very ripe bananas

• 1/3 cup melted butter

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8.5” x 4.5” loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

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

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the mashed bananas, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.

4. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the baking soda, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.

5. Fold in Flour: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Ovens vary, so start checking for doneness around 40 minutes.

7. Cool: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
