- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 medium Overripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
