This quick and easy banana bread is a simple recipe that requires no mixer. Just a few ripe bananas and pantry staples come together to create a moist and flavorful loaf, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1.5 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Make sure there are no large pieces remaining.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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.
