banana bread

Note: I use a 8x4” bread pan. Different sizes may affect baking time.

Ingredients:

• 2 or 3 very ripe bananas
• A whole stick of butter (about 1/3 cup)
• A half tsp of baking soda
• A cup of sugar
• 1 and 1/2 cups of flour
• A large egg
• Like a tsp of vanilla extract
• Optional 1/2 cup of mix-ins (chocolate chips, nutella, walnuts, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a bread pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, melt the butter then mix in the bananas and mash until smooth.
3. Mix in the egg, baking soda, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract (and any additional mix-ins you want).
4. Pour the batter into the greased bread pan and bake for about an hour. Check to see if it’s ready by poking it with a toothpick and having the toothpick come out clean.
5. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and serve!
