Ingredients
Scale
3 ripe bananas

1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or use parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas and stir in the melted butter until well combined.
Mix in the sugar until smooth and creamy, then add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together.
Add the dry mixture to the banana mixture gradually, folding gently to combine.
Gently fold in the chopped figs until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Place in the oven and bake for about 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
