Moist and flavorful bread made with ripe bananas and a hint of cinnamon, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mashed bananas gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
