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

  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon; mix until well combined.

  4. Fold in melted butter or applesauce 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.
