Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan.
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Mix ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the mashed bananas. Then add ½ cup melted butter and stir until combined.

Using overripe bananas enhances sweetness and moisture. Be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness. Always check the freshness of the baking soda for the right rise.
