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

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or applesauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5'' loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  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.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the banana mixture and stir gently until just 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.
  6. Cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
