Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small ramekin or a single-serving baking dish.

  2. Stir all the ingredients together until they are just combined and there are no dry streaks of flour.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Finishing
  1. Allow the banana bread to cool in the ramekin for a few minutes before serving, then enjoy your freshly baked single-serving treat.
