Fluffy No-Knead Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
2. Mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
3. Stir in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently fold in the flour until just combined.
5. Pour into the pan and bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack.

Tips

• The spottier the bananas, the better the bread.
• Don’t overmix once the flour goes in — that’s what keeps it fluffy.
