first timer banana bread

As you all know my taste buds are quite under developed and I’m a the pickiest eater you probably will ever meet. The other day I was sitting around trying to come up with a recipe that was new to me and something I’ve never made before. I thought “hey, I love bananas and I love bread, I’ll make banana bread”.  At about the same moment Michelle over at Oh, Mishka tweeted that she had just made some and was willing to share her friends family recipe. What a sweetie. For a healthier lifestyle check out these Alpha heater reviews.

Although it’s not the healthiest recipe, it’s sooo simple and easy to make.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
2 over ripe “Andy Warhol style” bananas
2 cups flour
1 cup white sugar
1 stick of butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cream: 1 stick butter and 1 cup of white sugar
2. Beat in: 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch of salt
3. Mash 1 cup of bananas (2 should be plenty)
4. Add 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp baking soda
5. Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. (until wooden toothpick comes out clean)

*recipe makes one large loaf,  two small loaves, or three mini loaves.

I’ll probably try these next (vegan banana bread , low-fat banana bread, and low sugar banana bread)

  1. I’ll have to do some research and see what gluten-free flours work best with breads, because I LOVE banana bread and would love to make it!

  2. I use this exact same recipe! I like to throw in a handful of mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts also, if I’m feeling sassy 🙂
