how to make banana bread

Making banana bread is a relatively easy task. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, in a large bowl, mash 3-4 ripe bananas until they are soft. Next, add 1/3 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of white sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, mix these ingredients until they are well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until they are just combined. Do not over-mix.

Finally, pour the mixture into a greased 9x5 inch baking pan, and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
