Classic Banana Bread

1 hr 15 min
2 portions

Perfect way to use up those overripe bananas sitting on your counter. Moist, tender, and ridiculously easy — just one bowl and no mixer needed.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat your oven to 175°C and grease a 23x13cm loaf pan.

  2. 2

    Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth — a few lumps are totally fine.

  3. 3

    Mix the melted butter into the mashed bananas.

  4. 4

    Add the sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt, stirring until just combined.

  5. 5

    Fold in the flour until you can't see any dry streaks, but don't overmix.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.

  7. 7

    Bake for 60-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

  8. 8

    Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
