This easy banana bread recipe is perfect for beginners! With just one ripe banana, you can create a moist and delicious loaf that makes for a great breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. It should yield about 1/2 cup of banana puree.
Add the sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently 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 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion
Tips:For an extra touch, consider adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit into the batter before baking! This banana bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for a week. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months - just slice it before freezing for easy thawing! Enjoy your delicious banana bread!
