Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas (about 1 1/3 cups, 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly. Add the egg, vanilla extract, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon; mix until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the banana mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 35–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool in the pan for about 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
