Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed the browner, the better for flavor
  • 1/3 cup melted butter golden and aromatic
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda for perfect rise
  • 1 pinch salt to enhance flavors
  • 3/4 cup sugar granulated sweetness
  • 1 large egg, beaten to add moisture and binding

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour providing structure
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips rich and indulgent

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the mashed bananas with the melted butter until smooth.
  • Stir in the baking soda and a pinch of salt.
  • Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Finally, stir in the flour and butterscotch chips until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the surface.

Baking
