Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then stir in the mashed bananas.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. If adding mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Allow to cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing into squares.
