Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Coat paper lightly with nonstick spray.
  2. Place mashed bananas in a bowl. Stir in the sugar, egg, butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.

  4. Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
