Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe bananas (about 2 cups mashed)
  • 1/3 cup salted butter (melted)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare an 8.5×4.5-inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas and combine them with melted butter, granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  3. Sprinkle baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt over the banana mixture; stir to combine.
  4. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour along with chopped walnuts or chocolate chips until no streaks of flour remain—avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
