Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.333 cup (melted) unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Stir the melted unsalted butter into the mashed bananas.

Step 4

Mix in the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the banana mixture and stir thoroughly to combine.

Step 6

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring until the batter is just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the bread dense.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Enjoy Mom's Banana Bread warm or at room temperature. It's perfect on its own or with butter!
