Overripe Bananas! Banana Bread Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar (brown sugar for extra moisture)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in melted butter.

3️⃣ Add sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined.

4️⃣ Gently fold in flour (and nuts/chocolate if using) until just combined — don’t overmix!

5️⃣ Pour batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.

6️⃣ Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7️⃣ Cool before slicing. Enjoy warm with butter or a drizzle of honey!
