Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
Stir in the melted butter until fully combined.
Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Sprinkle the baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt over the mixture and mix well.
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the banana bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
