Simple And Delicious Banana Bread

Banana bread is a perfect dessert for people who enjoy healthy snacks, but also for people who have a sweet tooth. In addition to this, most recipes only use one bowl, which is a lot easier to clean up after. :) After searching for the perfect recipe, I found one from Simply Recipes that was flexible with the amount of sugar, only used one bowl, and looked delicious. I figured I'd give it a try, and it turned out super tasty and delectable! As an extra plus, there are only 8 ingredients and they're all very common. So without further ado, let's get started!

First,  collect all the ingredients, which are:

• 2-3 ripe bananas (I used 3)
• 1/3 cup melted butter or oil (I used oil a healthier option)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• a pinch of salt
• 3/4 cups sugar (if you would like it less sweet, use 1/2 cup and if you like it sweeter, feel free to use 1 cup of sugar)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, in a large mixing bowl, mash up the bananas. 

Don't worry if there are lumps; the bananas will never be completely smooth. 

Next, mix the melted butter or oil into the bananas. 

Add the baking soda and salt into the mixture. 

In a separate bowl, beat an egg lightly. 

After that, mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and sugar. 

Last but not least, fold in the flour. 

Transfer the batter into a 4x8 loaf pan, and bake for 50 minutes to an hour. 

Let the banana bread cool before cutting it and serving it. I hope you enjoy this recipe! In my opinion, the banana bread would've tasted better with chocolate chips or nuts, so feel free to add those in accordance with your taste buds. :D
