20090201 Banana Bread

(SOURCE: Simply Recipes - Banana Bread Recipe)

I set the timer for about 5 minutes less than the suggested baking time and check with a pin to make sure I do not overcook the banana bread, as I like my banana bread very moist. You may want to try sliced bread with cream cheese too.

INGREDIENTS
4 ripe bananas, smashed
75g melted butter
125g sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
200g flour

METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 175 degree C.
2. 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, and mix.
3. Pour mixture into a buttered 4X8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack, then slice to serve.
