Banana Bread

This is NOT my image above.  I took it from Elise, her blog is Simply Recipes  and it's great!  All of her recipes are excellent.  I wanted to make banana bread and found this recipe, so I tried it and it was amazing.  I've made it twice in 2 weeks.  I was never patient enough to get a good shot of the bread after it came out of the oven...I couldn't wait to taste it.

The ingredients are simple.  Bananas, butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda salt and flour (nuts are optional). The recipe is so easy. 

First, you don't need a mixer and you only use 1 bowl.  With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. 

Mix in 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 4x8 inch loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.  Cool on a rack.  Remove from pan and slice to serve.  The first one I made I added walnuts and the second I didn't...both were great.

We like to toast it just a bit and top with butter

It only lasts a couple days...not because it spoils, but because we have it for breakfast, mid-day snack and late snack.  This is the best banana bread I have ever had.  Please try it out Banana Bread recipe  and check Elise' blog daily for new recipes, you won't be disappointed either way.

Banana bread is the holy grail of the Saturday morning breakfast. Of course, with a french press coffee and cream!
