Easy Banana Bread – Perfect for Beginners

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter (or oil), sugar, egg (or flaxseed egg), and vanilla extract until combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Mix Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing for a tender loaf.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
