Moist and delicious, it's easy to make—one bowl, no need for a mixer!
– 2 to 3 medium (7" to 7-7/8" long) very ripe bananas, peeled (about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups mashed) – 1/3 cup (76g) butter, unsalted or salted, melted
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder) – 1 pinch salt – 3/4 cup (150g) sugar (1/2 cup if you would like it less sweet, 1 cup if more sweet)
– 1 large egg, beaten – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – 1 1/2 cups (205g) all-purpose flour
– 1 large egg, beaten – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – 1 1/2 cups (205g) all-purpose flour
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then remove the banana bread from the pan and let cool completely before serving.
