Here’s a foolproof, super-moist banana bread you can make without thinking too hard 🍌🍞
🍌 Perfect Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas (the uglier, the better)
- ½ cup melted butter (or oil)
- ¾ cup sugar (white, brown, or half & half)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
Optional upgrades
- ½ cup walnuts or pecans
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
- Mash bananas until mostly smooth.
- Stir in melted butter, then sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- Sprinkle in baking soda and salt; mix.
- Fold in flour just until combined (don’t overmix).
- Add any extras.
- Bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes, then try not to cut it too early (good luck).
🔥 Pro Tips
- Brown sugar = extra moisture
- Overripe bananas = natural sweetness
- Wrap overnight → even better next day
- Freeze slices individually for emergency snacks
