3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
-
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Add dry ingredients: Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips, if using.
-
Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes

Overripe bananas with brown spots give the best flavor and sweetness.

For extra moisture, add 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt.
-
Leftovers keep well in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days—or freeze slices for up to 2 months!
