20101123 Banana Bread

(SOURCE: SimplyRecipes.com - Banana Bread Recipe)

Eating a slice of moist (!) and sweet banana bread immeidately brings me back to the comforting childhood memories. The key to good banana bread is the over ripe bananas as they produce the full banana flavor and moist texture. If you want to make banana bread but your bananas are not ripe yet/enough, put them in a paper bag with an apple and they will be ripened in a day.

INGREDIENTS
3 ripe bananas, smashed
75g melted butter
200g sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
190g flour

METHOD
1. Heat oven to 175 degree C.
2. In a large bowl, mix butter into the mashed bananas. 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 loaf pan.
3. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack, then remove from pan and slice to serve.
