Banana Bread Recipe
The ultimate one-bowl moist banana bread recipe that turns overripe bananas into a golden, buttery loaf. Perfectly sweet and incredibly easy to make!
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
3. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
4. Add sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is evenly blended.
5. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir gently.
6. Add the flour and stir just until the flour disappears—do not overmix.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
10. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of walnuts or chocolate chips.
Ensure bananas are very spotted or black for the best sweetness.
Do not overmix the flour to keep the bread tender.
