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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until no large chunks remain.

Step 3

Mix the melted butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and optional ground cinnamon.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade Tasty Banana Bread!
