Ingredients
- 3 pieces (medium-sized) ripe bananas
- 115 grams (melted) unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Step 3
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
Step 4
Stir in the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well incorporated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, and stir to blend.
Step 6
Gradually add the flour, stirring gently until you achieve a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve as is, or with a smear of butter for added indulgence. Enjoy!
