Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe bananas (about 1 1/3 cups, mashed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper if desired.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in the melted butter until evenly incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
