-
3 medium ripe bananas (mashed, about 1 cup)
-
1 large egg
-
½ cup sugar (white, brown, or mix)
-
⅓ cup oil or melted butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tbsp poppy seeds
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
½ tsp cinnamon (optional, warm flavor)
-
2 tbsp milk (if batter seems too thick)
Method
-
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line with parchment.
-
Wet mix: In a large bowl, mash bananas. Whisk in egg, sugar, oil/butter, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Dry mix: In another bowl, whisk flour, poppy seeds, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
-
Combine: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture. Do not overmix; batter should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of milk if too stiff.
-
Bake: Pour into loaf pan. Bake 45–55 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Let bread cool 10 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack.
