Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth and mostly free of lumps.
  3. Stir in melted butter, then add sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully blended.
  4. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir gently to distribute.
  5. Sift in all-purpose flour and fold everything together, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it evenly, then tap gently on the counter.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness when the top is golden brown.
  8. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Slice the bread once cooled completely, enjoy warm or store as desired.
