Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper if desired.
In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
Gently fold in melted butter or applesauce until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
