Description
Recipe for moist and delectable banana bread. There’s no need for a mixer to make this! Bananas, butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and flour.
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 medium (7″ to 7-7/8″ long) very ripe bananas, peeled (about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups mashed)
- 1/3 cup (76g) butter, unsalted or salted, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 3/4 cup (150g) sugar (1/2 cup if you would like it less sweet, 1 cup if more sweet)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (205g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and butter a 4×8-inch loaf pan.
- Mash the ripe bananas with a fork in a mixing bowl until completely smooth. Melted butter should be mixed into the mashed bananas.
- Combine the baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Combine the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Incorporate the flour.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan that has been prepared. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. A few dry crumbs are acceptable; wet batter streaks are not. If the outside of the loaf has browned but the center is still wet, tent it loosely with foil and bake until the loaf is fully baked.
- Remove from the oven and set aside for a few minutes to cool in the pan. Remove the banana bread from the pan and set aside to cool completely before serving. Cut into slices and serve. (A bread knife is useful for cutting slices that aren’t crumbly.)
- The banana bread will keep at room temperature for 4 days if tightly wrapped. Refrigerate or freeze the loaf for up to 5 days for longer storage.
Notes
This recipe does not require the use of a mixer. Clean-up is also simple; if desired, combine all ingredients in a single mixing bowl.
Bananas that are overripe are ideal for making banana bread. The yellow peels should be half-brown, and the bananas inside should be squishy and browning.
This recipe calls for an 8×4-inch baking pan. It can also be baked in a 9×5-inch loaf pan, but the loaves will rise less.
