Banana Bread
Description
This Banana Bread recipe begins by mashing ripe bananas and mixing them with melted unsalted butter, sugar, baking soda, salt, egg, and vanilla extract. The plain flour is gently folded in until the batter is combined. The batter is then poured into a buttered loaf tin and baked at 180°C (350°F) for about an hour.
The baking results in a softly textured bread with subtle sweetness from the bananas and vanilla. The baking soda acts as a leavening agent to help the loaf rise. The recipe suggests covering the top loosely with foil if the surface browns before the middle is fully cooked.
Once cooled, the bread can be sliced for serving. This standard banana bread is a straightforward way to use overripe bananas and produces a portable, easy-to-serve baked good suitable for many occasions.
