- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup melted butter

- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, with just a few lumps.
- Add melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well. Then add sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is light and combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Optional: Stir in any desired mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
