Tasty Tuesday: It's Bananas!

If you offered me a slice of banana bread a week ago I would have politely declined. I never cared to try banana bread. It looked...weird. So what changed? 3 bananas on the brink of death. That's what changed. And pinterest. Pinterest has a way of inspiring you to bake, make, create.

I couldn't bear the thought of tossing 3 full bananas. I knew there were recipes so I googled, "easy banana recipes" and the first thing that popped up? Banana bread. I clicked on several links before settling on what I felt was the easiest. {And it didn't have nuts.} I scribbled the recipe down and headed to the kitchen to gather the ingrediants.

I wish I had bookmarked the website. Now I can't find it! Anyhow here it is...

Ingredients:
3 or 4 ripened bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour

• Preheat oven to 350°
• Mash bananas in large mixing bowl
• Mix melted butter into bananas
• Mix in sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla
• Sprinkle salt and baking soda over the mixture and stir together
• Add flour last, mix
• Pour mixture into buttered/greased 4x8 in. loaf pan
• Bake 1 hour cool, slice, serve, enjoy!

I'm telling you, my house smelled A-MA-ZING while the banana bread baked. I am now wishing for some banana bread plug-in's.

The recipe called for an hour but I paid close attention with my nose and when it started smelling "done" I checked on it. With 9 minutes still left on the clock I pulled it out. I did the toothpick check and it was done. My oven can be whonky. Make sure to use your nose so you don't end up with dry or burnt banana bread!

The verdict?


SUPER moist, SUPER delicious, SUPER yuminess. It was. SO. GOOD. Hailey and Mel loved it. I loved it too and will definitely make more the next time we don't eat the bananas in time. :)
