  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: Approximately 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons melted unsalted butter (or applesauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9×5'' loaf pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in the melted butter until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
