So I recently got inspired to dust off my Kitchen-Aid mixer and put her to good use. I am NOT a baker, and so the life of my mixer is a rather sad one, spends most of the time in a dark cabinet waiting for the day that it will be able to work the way it was meant to.
Because I had a large number of bananas frozen in my freezer (it's the best way to store your bananas before they get too rotten, and then you always have bananas around to bake with), i decided to pull out my favorite banana bread recipe, and get baking. This is a fail proof recipe (my favorite kind), basically it works every time, even if i use too many bananas. so I thought I would share my wealth of knowledge with you. And because I have a nut allergy this one is nut free, but I am sure if you like them you can add them to your bread and this recipe would still turn out great. So give it a try, let me know if it works for you too.
"Fail-Proof" Banana Bread
3-4 ripe bananas (or frozen how I store them)*
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tspn vanilla
1 tspn baking soda
pinch salt
1 1/2 cup flour
preheat oven to 350 degrees
in a bowl mix butter into bananas. mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla.
sprinkle baking soda, and salt mix in.
add flour last
in a greased 4X8in loaf pan, pour the mixture.
bake at 350 for about 1 hour or until a skewer down the middle comes out clean.
*side note- the skin on the frozen bananas will turn black over time, but believe me the actual fruit inside still tastes great.
