Ingredients

• 2 pieces ripe banana
• 1 piece egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Lightly flour your hands and take small amounts of the dough to shape into stick-like fingers, about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each stick.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sticks are firm to the touch and lightly golden on the edges.

Step 8

Let the banana bread sticks cool completely before serving. These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
