Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Use a fork or a potato masher for this.
Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.
Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir to combine.
Gently fold in the flour until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
