  • 1 large egg, beaten 🥚
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
  • Pinch of salt 🧂
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾

📝 Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven:
  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8-inch loaf pan.

2. Prepare the Batter:

  1. Mash the bananas:
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  1. Add wet ingredients:
  • Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  1. Mix in the dry ingredients:
  • Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the banana mixture, then gently mix in the flour until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

3. Bake the Bread:

  1. Pour the batter:
  • Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
  1. Bake:
  • Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

4. Cool and Serve:

  1. Cool:
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
