Moist and sweet quick bread made with ripe bananas.

75 minutes
Serves 8
Breakfast

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the overripe bananas until completely smooth with no large lumps remaining.

  3. 3

    Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas until incorporated. Then, vigorously mix in the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the wet mixture and stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in the all-purpose flour using a spatula. Mix only until the flour disappears into the batter; do not overmix, or the bread will become tough.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
