In the days BB (before breadmaker), I didn’t make any bread
but this recipe. It was quick, easy,
required no kneading or rising, and was a great use for black bananas. Considering I don’t eat bananas once they get
a bruise or run past the slightly green/bright yellow stage, this recipe saved
a lot of bananas from a garbage fate.
Ingredients:
3 – 4 ripe/black bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
1/3 – ¾ cup of sugar *
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 ½ cup all purpose flour
OPTIONAL: ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
* My husband and I don’t like really sweet banana bread, so
I cut the sugar down to 1/3 cup. It
tastes wonderful to us. If you like more
sugar, you can go up to ¾ cup.
Mash bananas with a fork in a large bowl.
Mix melted butter into bananas.
Add sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Mix.
Sprinkle in baking soda.
Mix.
Add in flour. Mix.
Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter it.
Add in bread mixture, bake for ~ 1 hour at 350°F.
It seriously doesn’t get easier
than that, right?
I gave you some pictures below of
the recent loaf I made with chocolate chips.
YUM!
You'll see that I have some spiral pasta dishes next to the bread. That casserole is awesome and I'll post about it soon! Also - obviously my mug screams "Go Phillies!" I should crop these pictures better....
