Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 ripe bananas (about 2 cups mashed)
  • 1/3 cup salted butter (melted)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (177℃). Grease and flour an 8.5×4.5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas with melted butter, then mix in sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  3. Add baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; stir until combined.
  4. Gently fold in flour and walnuts or chocolate chips until no flour streaks remain.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness with a knife; it should come out clean.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
