Description

This easy Banana Bread comes together in minutes and bakes into a moist, flavorful loaf with rich banana goodness. Perfect for using up ripe bananas, it’s a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert for any day.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about ¾ cup)

  • ½ cup melted butter or vegetable oil

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Stir in melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.

  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix.

  4. Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. Cool & Serve: Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Make Ahead: Banana bread tastes even better the next day — store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Add-Ins: Mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or blueberries for extra flavor.

Mini Loaves or Muffins: Bake as muffins (20–22 minutes) or mini loaves (30–35 minutes).

Freezing Tip: Wrap cooled loaf or slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
