Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas (mashed) Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
  • 1/3 cup melted butter Can be substituted with oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Ensure it is fresh for proper rising.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances the sweetness.
  • 3/4 cup sugar You can adjust the sugar based on your sweetness preference.
  • 1 large egg (beaten) Egg can be substituted with flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For added flavor.
