Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I love to mix the mashed bananas with the granulated sugar and melted butter in a large mixing bowl. It’s crucial to incorporate everything well so that the bananas really blend into the mixture. Once that’s done, I like to add in the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. The sweet aroma from the bananas and vanilla wafts through the air, and it’s my favorite part! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
