Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas (mashed) Ensure they are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture.
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar Reduce slightly for less sweetness.
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Whole wheat flour can be used as a variation.
