A reliably delicious and easy banana bread recipe with a moist crumb and minimal cleanup. Perfect for busy mornings or a sweet treat.

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, then mix in the baking soda, salt, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Stir in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour 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 inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moistness, you can add 1/4 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.
  • Add-ins like chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips can be stirred in with the flour.
  • To freeze, wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil. It will keep for up to 3 months.
  • A simple glaze can be made by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or lemon juice. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
