Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the mashed bananas until smooth.
- Stir in the baking soda and a pinch of salt.
- Mix in the sugar, followed by the beaten egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring gently until just incorporated. If you’re adding nuts, fold them in now.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a nuttier flavor, substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Store in plastic wrap for 2-3 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
