Not to be outdone, the 1-ingredient banana bread.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a small loaf pan or round cake tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth and lump-free. Pour the mashed bananas into the prepared cake tin and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch and slightly golden on top. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice the banana cake into squares or wedges and serve. You can enjoy it as is or top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, some honey, or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
