– 3 ripe bananas, mashed – 1/2 cup melted butter – 1 cup sugar – 1 beaten egg – 1 tsp vanilla extract – 1 tsp baking soda – Pinch of salt – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a bowl, mix mashed bananas with melted butter until smooth.
Add sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until well combined. This forms the wet base for your bread.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix, stirring just until incorporated.
Fold in the chopped walnuts carefully, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the batter without overmixing.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.
