Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, I start by combining the mashed bananas with melted butter until smooth. Then, I whisk in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until everything is well-blended. By the end of this step, your kitchen will feel so inviting with the sweet smell of bananas!
