Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar (you can reduce this to 1/2 cup if you prefer less sweet)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for an extra treat!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
- Add in the baking soda and salt. Mix well!
- Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Finally, add the flour and stir until just incorporated. If you’re using walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
This One Bowl Banana Bread is perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even as a dessert. Plus, it’s a great way to use up those overripe bananas that you might have lying around. Enjoy a warm slice with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Happy baking!
