Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup melted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then mix in the flour until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy—don’t overmix!
If using, fold in the chopped nuts for an added crunch and flavor.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve with butter, cream cheese, or enjoy it plain. This banana bread is also excellent toasted!

Enjoy this fabulous Caribbean Banana Bread, bursting with flavor and perfect for sharing with family and friends. It’s a wonderful way to use ripe bananas and bring a taste of the tropics into your home!
