Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas well with a fork, then stir in the melted butter.
3. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Sprinkle the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over the mixture and stir in.
5. Add the flour and mix just until no dry streaks remain — do not overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
