Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.
Mix in the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
