Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

3/4 cup sugar (can substitute with brown sugar for added flavor)

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (lightly toasted for extra flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or a potato masher.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Then, mix in the baking soda and salt.

        Add Sugar, Egg, and Vanilla: Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

          Incorporate Flour: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

            Add Walnuts: Carefully fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Once baked, remove from oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice the banana bread and enjoy it as is or with a pat of butter for an extra treat!
