Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and mashed bananas; mix until well blended. Next, add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. The batter should be thick but moist with a lovely banana scent—oh, it’s heavenly!
