Light Banana Bread Recipe No Baking Soda Or Baking Powder

Ah, banana bread—the beloved classic that turns overripe bananas into something magnificent! It’s like magic, only without the wands and capes (unless you want to wear those while baking, no judgment here!). You might think it’s just bread, but it’s really just nature’s way of saying, “Look what I can do with old fruit!” So here’s how you can whip up some Grandma’s Easy Banana Bread, and remember: the only thing better than the smell of baked goods is the taste of baked goods!

Feast Your Eyes!

Before we dive into the kitchen and get messy, let’s take a moment to admire this deliciousness.

Ingredients

Now, here’s what you’ll need for this amazing banana bread that’s so good it will make you want to dance the cha-cha in the kitchen:

3 ripe bananas (the riper, the better—dot those brown spots with pride!)
1/3 cup melted butter (because butter makes everything better)
1 teaspoon baking soda (that’s the magic ingredient!)
Pinch of salt (just a smidgen!)
3/4 cup sugar (you sweet thing!)
1 large egg (beaten, of course!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for that aromatic twist)
1 cup all-purpose flour (no flying flour allowed!)

Instructions

Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, let’s get to the part that makes your kitchen smell like a bakery:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s time for some heat—baking, that is!
In a mixing bowl, mash those ripe bananas with a fork (like you’re trying to win a fruit wrestling match).
Stir in the melted butter. Mix it like you mean it!
Add the baking soda and salt. Give it a little whirl.
Stir in sugar, egg, and vanilla. This is where the magic happens!
Finally, mix in the flour until just combined. Don’t overmix; this isn’t a workout session!
Pour the batter into a greased 4x8 inch loaf pan. Smooth it out like you’re putting on a good face cream.
Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick entered in the center comes out clean. If it doesn’t, it might need a bit more time to get its life together!
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack. Now you can brag about your banana bread making skills!

And voila! You’ve created a loaf of happiness that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a midnight snack when you can’t stop thinking about that sweet banana goodness. Enjoy every slice—and don’t forget to share it with your friends (or not, we won’t tell)!
