I've been trying to incorporate more fruit into my diet lately and with the awesome summer produce, it's been pretty darn easy! Unfortunately, though, I've had a few weeks in a row now where I've had to toss out my bananas because the humidity/heat is making them ripen so quickly before I can eat them. Well, it happened again this week (wah wah) and I refused to throw them out again! So I did some Googlin', put on my apron and whipped up a mess in the kitchen! Here's my first attempt at banana bread...
And it's so good!! You can just call me Betty Crocker :) Here's the easy peasy recipe in case you'd like to try it out (and I really like it because it doesn't require a huge mixer like all the other ones!)
Ingredients...
3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
How to...
Preheat your oven to 350*. Mix butter and mashed bananas with a wooden spoon in a big bowl. Mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the top and mix. Add the flour last. Pour the mixture into a buttered 4x8 loaf pan (had to purchase that today, ha!). Bake for one hour (but it only took mine about 50 mins). Cool on a rack and enjoy!
say (like Gwen) b-a-n-a-n-a-s!!
