Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Optional toppings: Chocolate chips chopped nuts, or cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan or prepare cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then mix in the melted butter until combined.
- Stir in the sugar, followed by the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Blend all together until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture. Be sure not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain!
- If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan or fill the cupcake liners, about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes for cupcakes, or 50-60 minutes for a loaf, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then enjoy fresh out of the oven or store for later!
