Nothing fills your kitchen with warmth like freshly baked banana bread! Moist, sweet, and perfect for breakfast or a snack, it’s a delightful way to use up ripe bananas.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Melt the butter and mix it into the mashed bananas.
Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir until just incorporated. Do not overmix!
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
