Easy peasy banana bread

Category: Breads

 Ingredients List

  • 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed (I used four)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar (they say you can easily use 3/4 cup, I went with a cup)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

 Directions

First mash up the bananas (I used a potato masher), and then add the melted butter.
Then mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Add the baking soda and salt and mix.
Add the flour last, bake at 350 in a preheated oven for one hour and you”™re done!

I added a bit of cinnamon at the end too, just because cinnamon is good in just about any baked item. In my opinion.

I don”™t care for nuts in banana bread, so this recipe was perfect for me. If you like them in your nanner bread, I”™m guessing about half a cup would be perfect.

The recipe specifies an 8” by 4” loaf pan, but all we have is a 9 by 5. Because of that I baked it for about 50 minutes instead of an hour.
It is SO good. Especially yummy warm from the oven, with a little butter”¦ Ohhhh”¦um, what was I saying? I may add a few raisins in my next loaf ”“ I think that would be amahzing.

I thought banana bread was much more complicated than this, and when I realized it wasn”™t (and it was GOOD), I just had to share! Have you discovered an easy recipe you thought would be more difficult?

Now go forth and bake!!
