One ripe banana baked into a small loaf of cinnamon banana bread in a 10-ounce ramekin.

Ingredients

¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salted butter melted (plus additional butter to grease ramekin)
1 large egg yolk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Heat the oven to 350°F and butter a 10-ounce ramekin.
In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mash the banana, leaving a few small lumps, and stir in the sugar. Add the melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients and stir just until the flour disappears. Spoon the batter into the ramekin.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Let it cool for about 5 minutes before eating.
