Ingredients

Scale

Banana Bread Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix bananas and butter: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas until fully combined.
  3. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla: Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract thoroughly to the banana mixture, ensuring an even blend.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently fold in the all-purpose flour. Mix just until the flour disappears, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Pour batter into pan: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake the bread: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the 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 before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Make sure bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • Store the bread wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • You can freeze the banana bread for up to 3 months; slice before freezing for easy thawing.
