Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Second mixing bowl
- Microwave
- Fork
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Loaf pan
Ingredients
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Stick Butter
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 3 Large Ripe Bananas
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, microwave a stick of butter for about a minute until melted.
- Add ripe bananas to the same bowl and mash them with a fork.
- Stir in vanilla extract and an egg, mixing with the fork until the egg is fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle coarse sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
- Use overripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Fold in mini marshmallows before baking for a gooey surprise in every slice.
- If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
