Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

 Instructions:

Tips and Variations:

• For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour.
• Add in some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to add some extra crunch and flavor.
• Add in some chocolate chips for a delicious twist on traditional banana bread.
• Make mini loaves or muffins instead of a full loaf for easy portioning and sharing.
