DELICIOUS BANANA BREAD

Delicious!

We had some bananas at home that were starting to take a turn for the worse so staff and volunteers decided that inside of wasting them that it would be a good idea to bake banana bread and take it with them to support groups! If you find yourself with an afternoon with not much on, have a go at this scrumptious recipe they followed..

Assemble the following ingredients..

·       3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed

·       1/3 cup melted butter

·       1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)

·       1 egg, beaten

·       1 teaspoon vanilla

·       1 teaspoon baking soda

·       Pinch of salt

·       1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

No need for a mixer for this recipe.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl.

Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.

Sprinkle the baking soda 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. 

This simple recipe is easy to whip up and makes a hefty loaf which is even more delicious served warm with some butter on top. Happy cooking readers!
