I'm not much of a cooker but I did learn how to make banana bread from my sister who's a culinary arts major! We bonded over this and I love a quick on the go breakfast like this.

Supplies

8 x 4 inch loaf pan
2 to 3 medium sized bananas (ripe)
1/3 cup of melted butter, salted or unsalted
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch of salt
¾ cup of light brown sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup of pecans
1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour

Step 1: Prep

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prep your pan with butter

Step 2: Mash Your Bananas

In a mixing bowl, mash your bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Once smooth, add your melted butter to the mixing bowl.

Step 3: Mix Ingredients

Mix in your baking soda and salt together, stir in the sugar, beaten egg, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Add into the mixture.

Step 4: Add Flour, Pecans

Once combined, add in your all-purpose flour and pecans to the mixture. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5: Bake

Pour your batter into your prepped loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350 degrees or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

(no wet batter)

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the banana bread cool then remove from pan. After removal, let the loaf cool completely before cutting your loaf and serving.

Step 7: Finished Result

Enjoy!
