Ingredients
3 medium ripe bananas
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel the bananas and mash them inside a large mixing bowl using a sturdy fork.
Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas until fully combined.
Whisk the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract into the banana mixture until smooth.
Sprinkle the baking soda over the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Fold the flour into the batter gently until no dry streaks remain.
Pour the prepared batter into your greased loaf pan.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use dark, heavily spotted bananas for the best flavor and moisture. For a deeper, molasses-like depth, substitute half the granulated sugar with brown sugar. Ensure the flour is measured using the spoon-and-level method to avoid a dense loaf.
