  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 large egg, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ⅓ cup of vegetable oil.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, folding them together until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 2 to 3 very ripe bananas, mashed, along with ⅓ cup of buttermilk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the prepared batter into your greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
