Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas, about 1 1/3 cups mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or applesauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a standard 9Γ—5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Add the egg, vanilla extract, sugars, and cinnamon; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in melted butter or applesauce without overmixing; lumps are fine.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow cooling in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
