Banana bread is a classic and comforting treat that is perfect for using up ripe bananas. To make an easy banana bread, start by mashing ripe bananas in a bowl. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of freshly baked banana bread will fill your kitchen, and the moist and tender loaf will be a hit with everyone. Enjoy a slice of warm banana bread with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat.
