Method

Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing or lining it.
Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth with some lumps remaining.
Mix together the sugar, vegetable oil, and egg (or substitute) with the mashed bananas until well combined.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the mixture and fold gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
