Creating Honey Vanilla Banana Bread is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make your loaf:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix Bananas and Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the melted butter. Stir until well blended.
3. Add Honey and Egg: Add honey and the beaten egg to the banana mixture. Mix until completely combined.
4. Stir in Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and continue stirring until well mixed.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the baking soda and salt into the flour.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir just until the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Incorporate Optional Ingredients: If using, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips for additional taste and texture.
8. Pour into the Loaf Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

This simple and effective method will lead you to an amazing loaf of Honey Vanilla Banana Bread.
