**Ingredients:**
- 2 to 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar (you can reduce to 1/2 cup for less sweetness)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the oven** to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4x8-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. **Mash the bananas**: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth, leaving a few chunks if you prefer.
3. **Mix in wet ingredients**: Stir in the melted butter. Add the baking soda, salt, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until combined.
4. **Add flour**: Gradually stir in the flour until the batter is just mixed. Be careful not to overmix.
5. **Bake**: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. **Cool**: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade banana bread! You can add nuts, chocolate chips, or spices like cinnamon for extra flavor if you like.
