  • Ingredients
    • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
    • 1/3 cup (76 g) melted butter
    • 1/2 to 1 cup (100–220 g) granulated sugar (adjust to sweetness)
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.
    2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter with the sugar until well combined.
    3. Add the mashed bananas, then the egg and vanilla; mix until smooth.
    4. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix gently.
    5. Add flour and fold just until incorporated; avoid overmixing.
    6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    7. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Tips

  • For extra moisture and depth of flavor, fold in 1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
  • If the loaf browns too quickly, tent with foil during the final 15 minutes of baking.
  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and banana flavor.
