Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
