Banana Bread Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 medium very ripe bananas, peeled about 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups mashed
  • ⅓ cup butter, unsalted or salted melted
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda not baking powder

Steps to Make Banana Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  • Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then remove the banana bread from the pan and let cool completely before serving. Slice and serve.

Notes

Wrapped well, the banana bread will keep at room temperature for 4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate the loaf up to 5 days, or freeze it.
