Print Recipe

A simple recipe for moist and flavorful banana bread, including seven tips for success.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted butter, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Add the flour and mix until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the flour; this keeps the bread tender.
  • For a moister bread, use slightly less flour.
  • Test for doneness with a toothpick inserted near the center.
  • Cooling completely on a rack prevents a soggy bottom.
  • If your oven runs hot, check the bread at 45 minutes.
  • For even baking, place the loaf pan in the center rack of the oven.
