BANANA BREAD

INGREDIENTS

Cooking time - 1hour
2-3 very ripe bananas, peeled
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup of sugar (can easily use 3/4 cup, or drop it
down to 1/2 cup if you want it less sweet)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour


METHOD

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-
inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork
until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed
bananas.
Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar,
beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1
hour to 1 hour 10 minutes (check at 50 minutes) at
350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the center
comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack.
Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and
serve. (A bread knife helps to make slices that aren't
crumbly.)
