Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)

  3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
  4. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
  5. Add sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is evenly blended.
