Today I make Banana Bread. This is a simple recipe that is very easy to make. I doubled the recipe below:<br /><br />Recipe:<br /><br />2 to 3 very ripe bananas, peeled<br />1/3 cup melted butter<br />1 teaspoon baking soda<br />Pinch of salt<br />3/4 cup sugar (1/2 cup if you would like it less sweet, 1 cup if more sweet)<br />1 large egg, beaten<br />1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour<br /><br />1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.<br />2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.<br />3. Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.<br />4. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.<br />5. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then remove the banana bread from the pan and let cool completely before serving. Slice and serve.
