Banana bread. Boom.
I found this recipe at SimplyRecipes.com when my sister was begging me for banana bread. Here is the link to the original site. It's one of my favorite recipes in my recently-constructed 'baking toolbox' because it takes less than half an hour to make (well, not including baking time) and the only tool you need be armed with is your trusty ol' fork.
Without further ado, let's begin!
Ingredients:
• 2 or 3 bananas, very ripe and peeled
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Dash of salt
• 1 1/2 cups flour
A bunch of little gross things we combine and heat for a while to make it one whole delicious thing.
Baking is a weird and wonderful thing, people.
Instructions:
Mash up the peeled bananas in your mixing bowl. Pretend you're a normal person who doesn't take weird giddy delight in hearing them squish against the sides of the bowl. Conceal your glee. They cannot know your weirdness just yet.
Mix the butter into the bananas.
Add the baking soda and salt and mix until combined.
Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and beaten egg.
Dump in the flour and mix until your dough is evenly colored and textured all over. (And yes, all this mixing and mashing is being done with the fork! Let's give him a round of applause, folks.)
Remember you were meant to preheat the oven to 350˚F five steps ago.
Sigh deeply and preheat oven.
Butter a 4x8-inch pan that you were also meant to grease well before now.
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it around so that it's even.
Consider your life choices while waiting for oven to preheat.
Bake bread for 1 hour (check after 50 minutes) or longer, if needed. Let cool before serving.
Arm yourself with a fork and enjoy tremendously!
Big thanks to Elise of Simply Recipes for this great recipe! I make it almost every month nowadays.
