Description
This Super Moist Banana Bread is a comforting treat that combines ripe bananas with a golden crust and a tender crumb, perfect for any occasion.
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. Once mashed, add the melted butter and mix well.
- 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. Mix everything until well combined.
- Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated.
- 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.
Notes
This banana bread freezes beautifully; just wrap it tightly for storage. Makes a great gift and can be customized with nuts or chocolate chips.
