Easy 3-Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. A few small lumps are okay!

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.

Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

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

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

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