By á-177742

Ingredients

• 1 2 to 3 very ripe bananas, peeled.
• 2 1 /3 cup melted butter.
• 3 1 teaspoon baking soda.
• 4 Pinch of salt.
• 5 3 /4 cup sugar (1/2 cup if you would like it less sweet, 1 cup if more sweet)
• 6 1 large egg, beaten.
• 7 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• 8 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.
2 In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
3 Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.
4 Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
5 Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack. Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and serve. (A bread knife helps to make slices that aren't crumbly.)
