The Perfect Banana Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350˚F or 180˚C.

Step 2

Sift flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together.

Step 3

Mix brown sugar and butter together and beat together using a hand blender or stand-alone blender till the sugar has completely dissolved.

Step 4

Add in the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Blend together on a low setting till it's completely mixed in the batter.

Step 5

Add mashed banana and flour to the above mixture and beat for 30 seconds (don't over-beat or the bananas will start to oxidize a lot).

Step 6

Pour this mixture into a buttered 4 by 8 inch loaf baking pan and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the skewer comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the bread.

Step 7

Let it cool on a rack before removing the banana bread from the pan.
