World’s Best Banana Bread

What Makes This World's Best Banana Bread So Good (and So Easy) - Tasty

A simple recipe for exceptionally moist and flavorful banana bread.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a medium 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 wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • For a richer taste, substitute brown sugar for half of the granulated sugar.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.
