Did you know that 1.3 billion bananas are wasted globally each year, often tossed for being too speckled?

1. Prepare the Crust:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Stir in the melted butter.
3. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir in.
4. Add the flour and cinnamon, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
