Lovely and moist home made Banana bread. The beauty of this is that you can add nuts, or chocolate even a shot of espresso and totally make it your own!

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Very ripe Bananas
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup of sugar (can easily use 3/4 cup, or drop it down to 1/2 cup if you want it less sweet)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) Gas mark 4 and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.

  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.

  3. Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.

  4. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes (check at 50 minutes) at 350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack. Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and serve.
