Banana Bread

So I hate bananas. I think they're awful but I know they're good for me so I often hide them in things (yes, like a parent does with their children). So since I had 3 super ripe bananas I decided to make banana bread. 


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!

  1. I always drop the pan a couple times on the counter. I think it works.
