Classic Banana Bread

I thought this would be an appropriate recipe for my first post, and I’ll tell you why. I made this last night for the first time in a couple of months and in less than 24 hours, we managed to eat an entire loaf! As I sit here, typing this, I’m finishing the laaaast slice…. And it’s delicious. (Since I procrastinated and typed instead of eating my bread, my toddler has inevitably finished it for me. You snooze, you loose I guess!)
So here is the recipe! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3 or 4 VERY ripe bananas (you’re going to be mashing these by hand, so you want soft bananas!)
1/3 Cup melted butter
3/4 Cup granulated sugar
1 Egg, beaten
1 Tsp vanilla extract
1 Tsp baking soda
1 1/2 Cup all purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Smash bananas in a large bowl with a fork until all the chunks are good and smashed. Mix (with the same fork, if you want, but not with a beater) the melted butter into the mashed bananas, then add the sugar, beaten egg and vanilla. Mix well. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt in and mix. Add the flour last and mix well. Pour mixture into a buttered (oiled, sprayed, whatever your preference) 4x8in loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from pan, cool on a rack and slice to serve!
