Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven and grease loaf pan for even baking.
- Mash bananas until mostly smooth with slight texture.
- Whisk sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add mashed bananas and mix until combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt gently.
- Pour batter into pan and smooth the surface.
- Bake until golden and center is soft but set.
- Cool before slicing for clean cuts and moisture retention.
Notes
For softer texture, avoid overmixing batter. Bake longer for firmer slices or slightly less for extra moist crumb. Freeze slices wrapped tightly for later use. Add nuts or chocolate chips for variation. Store covered at room temperature up to three days or refrigerate for extended freshness.
