– 3 ripe bananas – 1/2 cup melted butter – 3/4 cup sugar – 1 large egg, beaten – 1 tsp vanilla extract – 1 tsp baking soda – Pinch of salt – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy without lumps.
Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas until fully combined for a rich, moist texture.
Add sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract; mix thoroughly to blend all the wet ingredients well.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, stirring gently to avoid clumps in the batter.
Fold in the all-purpose flour carefully until the batter is just combined; don’t overmix to keep it tender.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan, bake for 60 minutes, then cool before slicing and serving warm.
