Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas (mashed) Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.

  • 3/4 cup sugar Brown sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  3. Mix in the melted butter.
  4. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  5. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix well.

Notes

Slice the banana bread while it is still warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain, or with butter or cream cheese. For storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep at room temperature for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Customize with added spices or nuts.
