Banana Bread



Ingredients:


  • 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter (I should definitely try reducing the butter)
  • 1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)  (and reducing the sugar... especially if chocolate chips are added)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
Directions:
No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

Review:
I liked this recipe because it uses a lot of bananas (instead of only one banana as in some of the other recipes I found).  It was delicious... especially when warm.  I would cut a piece and warm it up in the microwave and it was divine.  However, I cannot believe I didn't even think of putting chocolate chips in it!  Maybe next time!
