La vie est belle

I had over ripe bananas on the kitchen counter. So I made banana bread during the weekend.

Ingredients

• 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter (I used half of this amount + added a few tbsp of canola oil)
• 1 cup sugar (I only used 1/2 cup. I could have reduced a little bit more)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

Method

No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4×8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
