This quick and easy banana bread recipe is perfect for those who want to whip up a delicious treat without using baking soda. It’s moist, flavorful, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen!

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas

1 cup granulated sugar

1.5 cups all-purpose flour

2 eggs

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. You should have about 1.5 cups of mashed bananas.

Step 3

Add the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until everything is fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
