Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8.5x4.5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the bananas well. Whisk in the melted butter, packed brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: This is the most critical tip for a tender quick bread. Mix only until you no longer see large streaks of dry flour.
Banana Ripeness: The darker and more speckled your bananas, the better the flavor and moisture of your bread will be.
Cooling is Key: Allowing the bread to cool completely lets the crumb set properly, making it easier to slice without crumbling.
