Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas (the riper, the better)
• 1/3 cup melted butter (unsalted)
• 1 cup sugar (you can adjust to taste; you can use half brown sugar for a richer flavor)
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Optional Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for added flavor)

Instructions

Turn on the oven to 350°F (175°C). Put parchment paper into a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan or grease it.

Fork or potato masher the bananas in a mixing dish until they are smooth.

Stirring until thoroughly blended, add the melted butter to the mashed bananas.

Stir thoroughly the sugar, vanilla essence, and beaten egg into the banana mixture.

Stir the salt and baking soda into the moist ingredients until well combined.

Beat in the flour until barely blended. Some lumps are OK; don’t overmix.

Add any extras (cinnamon, chocolate chips, or nuts).

Spoon batter into loaf pan, then level top.

A toothpick put into the middle of the bread should come out clean after around 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven.

After letting the banana bread cool in the pan for around ten minutes, take it out and let it cool totally on a wire rack.

The bread may be sliced and eaten when it has cooled. Any leftovers keep best in the refrigerator for extended freshness or in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
