Description

Easy Moist Banana Bread recipe with simple steps.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until fully combined.
  4. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  5. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the batter and gently stir.
  6. Add the flour and mix just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the bread soft and tender.
