A reliably delicious and easy banana bread recipe with a moist crumb and minimal cleanup. Perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork.
  3. Stir in the melted butter, baking soda, salt, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can add 1/4 cup of sour cream or plain yogurt to the batter.
  • Add-ins like chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips can be stirred in with the flour.
  • This banana bread freezes well. Wrap cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for up to 3 months.
  • Serve plain, or with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
