Ingredients

3 very ripe bananas
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
0.25 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Incorporate the flour, sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing and serving.
