Caribbean Banana Bread ### Ingredients

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar (you can use brown sugar for a richer flavor)
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, mix the mashed bananas with the melted butter until well combined.
Add in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix them in. If you’re using cinnamon, add it now!
Finally, fold in the flour gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix – a few lumps are okay!
If you’re adding nuts, fold them in now.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with your favorite hot beverage!
