Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the softened butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the milk to loosen the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
- Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined to avoid a tough texture.
- Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
- For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze it for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
