Ingredients
  

For the banana bread
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas Use overripe bananas for best flavor.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup butter, melted
  • 1 piece egg Can substitute with flaxseed meal or applesauce.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas using a fork until they’re mostly smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
  4. Add in the egg (or your chosen substitute) and vanilla extract, mixing everything until integrated.
  5. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the banana mixture, and gently fold in the flour.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–65 minutes. Check for doneness at the 50-minute mark with a toothpick.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes, then turn it out to cool for an additional 10–20 minutes before slicing.
