Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, leaving some small chunks if desired.
- Mix in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
