1 tablespoon melted butter slightly cooled, plus extra to grease

Heat the oven to 350°F and butter a 10-ounce ramekin.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
Beat the mashed banana with the sugar. Stir in the cooled melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla.
Stir in the dry mixture just until combined, then fold in the walnuts.
