- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar (can be reduced to 1/2 cup for less sweetness)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in Butter: Stir in the melted butter, ensuring it blends well with the bananas.
- Add Baking Soda and Salt: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt into the mixture. Stir to combine.
- Incorporate Sugar: Add sugar to the banana mixture and stir until fully integrated.
- Beat the Egg: In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then stir it into the mixture along with the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the Flour: Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Extras: If desired, gently fold in walnuts or chocolate chips.
- Pour into the Pan: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice your banana bread and enjoy!
