Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

3/4 cup sugar (you can reduce to 1/2 cup for less sweetness)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra decadence)

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.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the mashed bananas. Stir in the vanilla extract and beaten egg until well combined.

      Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture. Mix in the sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon (if using). Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix—some lumps are okay!

        Fold in Extras: If you're using nuts and chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

          Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

            Cooling: Once done baking, let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Serve: Slice and enjoy your moist banana bread warm or at room temperature. Perfect with a smear of butter or cream cheese!
