3 very ripe bananas
1/3 C unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp baking soda
1/4 tbsp salt
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 C flour
Preheat oven to 350.
In a mixing bowl mash bananas with a fork until smooth. When mashed, mix in melted butter.
Mix in baking soda, salt, sugars, egg, vanilla extract and flour.
Pour into a greased loaf pan, smooth the top and tap the pan on the counter a few times (I saw Martha Stewart do this once, she said it got out the air bubbles. Not sure if it really does but if Martha recommends it, I guess I should try it.)
Bake for 50 minutes to an hour (do the toothpick thing).
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice with a bread knife to avoid crumbly slices and serve with some butter and cinnamon (seriously, try this).
Enjoy the banana bread, readers! And sorry for the recipe hiatus, it's been a busy few weeks but I promise I'll get back to the recipe posts!
I always drop the pan a couple times on the counter. I think it works.
