This easy banana bread recipe requires only 2 very ripe bananas and delivers a moist, delicious loaf that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Scale

2 to 3 medium very ripe bananas

peeled

1/3 cup butter

melted

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 pinch salt

3/4 cup sugar

1 large egg

beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
Mix in the baking soda and salt.
Add sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Finally, fold in the flour until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For a less sweet banana bread, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup. Serve warm or at room temperature.
