It's a classic recipe that all good housewives, mothers, girlfriends, singles, lovers, sisters, brothers and plumbers should have a good version of, banana bread! I found this one on simplyrecipes.com and its so simple you don't even need heavy kitchen machinery. In this version I added some nutella laced on top but, you can jazz yours up how ever you like, dulce de leche, walnuts, chocolate chips or other fruits.
Ingredients
3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed (I smooshed mine but, I don't think that makes a difference?)
1/2 cup of melted butter
1 cup of sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch of salt1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
Method
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With a wooden spoon (or spatula or fork for smooshing), mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda (I used baking powder, I just realized this and it tastes delicious so either way is fine) and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
I must say, This was delicious Rachel!!! The nutella was an ingenious touch!
