Ingredients

4 Ripened Bananas previously frozen then thawed and mashed
1/3 cup Unsalted Butter melted, plus more to grease pan
3/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or grease with butter and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Melt butter, and let rest to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed banana (if previously frozen then thawed; mash bananas with the liquid - this has tons of flavour).
Add granulated white sugar, eggs, and pure vanilla extract; stir until well combined, then mix in butter.
Stir in flour mixture and mix together with a spatula until well combined.
Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 - 60 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Frozen then Thawed Bananas - using ripened bananas that were previously frozen, thawed then mashed adds a richness to the banana bread. As well, the extra liquid keeps the banana bread extra moist and decadent!
