One Bowl Banana Bread

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  3. Add in the baking soda and salt, and mix well. Then, stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Finally, gently fold in the flour until no streaks remain. If you’re using walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Once it's baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Slice it up and enjoy your homemade banana bread warm or at room temperature!
