Ingredients

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

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 well.
  3. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  4. Mix in the baking soda and salt.
  5. Gradually stir in the flour, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped nuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots.
  • Store cooled banana bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Banana bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
  • Slice and toast for a delicious breakfast snack.
