Best-Ever Banana Bread
Ever wondered what to do with that bunch of bananas that look like they’ve seen better days? Well, my friend, it’s time to whip out the flour and sugar because we’re making the best-ever banana bread!
This banana bread recipe is not just good; it’s ridiculously easy to make, tasty enough to make you question your current snack choices, and comforting like a hug from a treacle tart. Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8-inch loaf pan. Ah, the sweet smell of preheating! Your kitchen will soon smell like a bakery!
- In a mixing bowl, mash those bananas with a fork until you’ve got a nice gooey mess. Look at those bananas go!
- Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Yes, I know, it smells heavenly. Just wait, it gets better.
- Mix in the baking soda and salt. This is where the science begins, folks!
- Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until everything is combined. This is turning into a delicious batter!
- Finally, mix in the flour. Don’t overdo it; we want this banana bread to be as light as a cloud, not a brick!
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give it a little shake to even it out, and maybe do a little dance to celebrate!
- Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Will it last that long in your house? That’s a valid question!
- Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, you can slice it up and serve it warm, or let it cool completely if you have the patience of a saint!
Enjoy your creation, and don’t be surprised if friends suddenly announce they’re your best friend just to mooch a slice or two. Happy baking!
