Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Bananas (ripe)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until no large chunks remain.
Mix the melted butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.
Stir in the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and optional ground cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few streaks of flour.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the banana bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade Tasty Banana Bread!
