Ingredients

• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1¼ cups)

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Let’s make it

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment.

2. 2

   Stir mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until the dry bits disappear.

4. 4

   Scrape into the pan and bake for 50–55 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack.
