Follow these easy steps to create your very own Easy Banana Bread:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your bread bakes evenly.
2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal later.
3. Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Make sure they are well mashed for a consistent texture.
4. Add Butter: Stir in the melted butter into the mashed bananas. This will add moisture to your bread.
5. Mix in Baking Soda and Salt: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, and mix thoroughly. This step is crucial for the fluffiness of your bread.
6. Stir in Sugar: Add the sugar, and mix well. You can adjust the sugar according to your taste preferences.
7. Beat the Egg: In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then, stir it into the banana mixture along with the vanilla extract.
8. Combine with Flour: Finally, mix in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
9. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
10. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when the bread is ready.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
