Ok, So I think everyone needs to know how to make good banana bread - when those bananas on your counter are looking really brown and getting gooey - and you know you should make the bread or throw them in the freezer for smoothies, which is easier..... but you really want the hot moist goodness of the bread. Well now you can whip it together with baking time under 60 minutes. While it bakes you can workout so you don't feel bad about the whole healthy smoothie issue.
Cream together with a spoon or mixer if you want to go to the trouble. (Creaming together with a spoon means about 100 stirs with a wooden spoon.)
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
Add
2 beaten eggs
2 cups flour
before you mix the flour in put on top of it
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
After the above is mixed add
2 large mashed bananas - at least (I have used up to 4 large ones)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix it all up so it is smooth. If you are using a mixer, don't over-mix or it won't rise. The bananas should still be slimy chunks.
Make sure you get any dry ingredients hanging around the bottom of the bowl.
Put it in a greased loaf pan with a rubber scraper so you get all the batter. I usually have to eat a spoon or so..... mmm good.
Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 or until it tests done with a toothpick coming out clean.
Eat! This is really delicious as toast in the morning - if there is any left the next morning.
Love, Mom
