Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas spotted for maximum sweetness
- 1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter, softened or melted
- 1 cup 200g brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups 190g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Combine the mashed bananas, softened butter, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg and mix until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Use bananas that are heavily spotted for the best sweetness and flavor.
- To make it extra moist, add a tablespoon of yogurt or sour cream to the batter.
- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a pinch of cinnamon.
