Banana Bread


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

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 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.

3. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour.


Notes: I'm using a microwave that's also an oven so the heat is trapped in a much smaller area. The recipe called for an hour in the oven, but it was a little too much in my small microwave so the top burnt a little. I should remember to trust my nose the next time I bake.
