Mix in melted butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl.
Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over flour and mix dry ingredients.
Add the flour mixture to wet ingredients (mix your cinnamon into the flour, if using). Pour mixture into a buttered 4×8 inch loaf pan.
Bake for 1 hour. Everything bakes fast in my oven. I check closely once I hit about 50 minutes. Cool on a rack.
Remove from pan and slice to serve.
