3 ripe bananas, mashed (choose yellow bananas with brown spots for the best flavor)1/3 cup melted butter (you can substitute with coconut oil or unsalted margarine)3/4 cup granulated sugar (try using brown sugar or honey for a richer flavor)1 large egg, beaten (replace with 1/4 cup applesauce for a vegan option)1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla gives the best flavor)1 teaspoon baking soda (check for freshness to ensure proper rising)Pinch of salt (Himalayan salt can enhance the taste)1 cup all-purpose flour (use whole wheat for a healthier alternative)Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and taste
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).Grease a 4×8-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well. Then incorporate the beaten egg, vanilla extract, and sugar.In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour.Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, folding gently until just combined.If you’re including nuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage.Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. - Prep Time: 15 minutes
