Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 0.33 cup butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. Prepare Banana Mixture: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas and then mix in the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the Bread: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, enhancing texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture.
  • If desired, add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and taste.
  • Ensure to check doneness with a toothpick to avoid under or overbaking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
