Description
A heartwarming recipe for Super Moist Banana Bread that uses ripe bananas and creates a comforting aroma in your home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork or a potato masher until they are mostly smooth.
- Add the melted butter and mix well to combine.
- Stir in the baking soda and a pinch of salt into the banana mixture.
- Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix everything until well combined.
- Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix!
- Pour the batter into a greased 4×8 inch loaf pan. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the top for an even bake.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-65 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
