Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the mashed bananas. Stir until smooth.
- Add in the baking soda and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Gradually stir in the sugar.
- Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, mixing until just incorporated.
- Slowly fold in the all-purpose flour, being careful not to overmix.
- If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when inserted in the center.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure the bananas are very ripe for the best flavor. Don’t overmix the batter to ensure a tender loaf.
