Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix in Butter: Stir in the melted butter, ensuring it blends well with the bananas.
  4. Add Baking Soda and Salt: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt into the mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Incorporate Sugar: Add sugar to the banana mixture and stir until fully integrated.
  6. Beat the Egg: In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then stir it into the mixture along with the vanilla extract.
  7. Mix in the Flour: Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Add Extras: If desired, gently fold in walnuts or chocolate chips.
  9. Pour into the Pan: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. 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.
  12. Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice your banana bread and enjoy!
