Description

There are a lot of banana bread recipes out there, I know. But this one ranks up there as the best I’ve ever tried. Quick and easy, and no mixer required!

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Ripe Or Overripe Bananas
  • ⅓ cups Melted Butter
  • ¾ cups White Sugar
  • ¼ cups Turbinado Sugar (sugar In The Raw)
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Put the peeled bananas (3 or 4, but no fewer or bread will be too dry!) into a large mixing bowl and smash with a wooden spoon. Add the melted butter and mix together with the spoon.

3. Add the sugars, egg, and vanilla, stirring to combine.

4. Sprinkle the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over the top and mix into the mixture.

5. Add the flour last and mix.

6. Pour mixture into a buttered 4×8″ loaf pan.

7. Bake for one hour. Cool on a rack before removing from the pan to serve.
