    Easy, Yummy Banana Bread!

    Easy, delicious homemade banana bread!

     

    The big joke in my family is, "Hey, we need more bananas". It's because we have a plethora, all in different stages of ripeness. It's a Costco problem. I seem to go there too much. And, I can't leave without a bunch of bananas.

    Since it is still feeling a little cool outside and I have an oversupply of really ripe banana's, I'm making banana bread. This is a recipe I've had for a while and have modified to our tastes. Don't even remember where it originally came from It's one of the down to the basics kind of recipes I love. No crazy unpronounceable ingredients here!

    Banana Bread

    Ingredients:
    3 or 4 ripe bananas, mashed
    ⅓ cup melted butter
    1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to ¾ cup)
    1 egg, beaten
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    Pinch of salt
    1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
    ½ - 1 teaspoon  cinnamon (optional)

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Mash those bananas. I leave them a little chunky.  You can totally cheat and use a mixer to mash them!

    Mix in butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl.

    Mix sugar, egg, and vanilla.

    Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the flour and mix in.

    Add the flour mixture (mix your cinnamon into the flour, if using) to the wet ingredients.

    Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan.

    Bake for 1 hour. Everything bakes fast in my oven.

    I check closely once I hit about 50 minutes.

    Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

    Yield: Makes one loaf. Recipe easily doubles. Should freeze well but I've never had to 'cause it gets eaten every time.

    One of my friends told me she loves banana bread for breakfast with some peanut butter!  It really boosts the protein of this breakfast.

      Thanks for reading my blog! Hope you enjoy it. I'm not so awesome - just bored during the never ending Wisconsin winter.
