Rosie Makes A Quick Banana Bread.

 I'm having fun cleaning out my freezer.  I have bunches of frozen bananas, so I'm making ... YES ... another banana bread.

 

 

Quick Banana Bread 

1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup) 

3 ripe bananas

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp cinnamon

 

Heat oven to 350°.

Butter a 9 x 5-in. baking pan 

In a medium bowl, add flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.  Whisk until well-combined.

Place stick of butter in large bowl and nuke until melted.

Add bananas to butter and mash with a fork.

Add vanilla and egg to banana mixture and stir until completely combined. 

Add dry ingredients to banana mixture and fold with a spatula until just combined.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake about 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out fairly clean.

 

 

Bananas ready to be mashed into melted butter in bowl on left. Vanilla and eggs go in next.
Dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt - ready to be mixed in bowl on right.

 It always helps to have a cup of coffee and acrossword puzzle to work while you're making banana bread.

Mash the bananas into the melted butter.  Ooooh, this smells good!

Add in the eggs to the banana and butter

Pour in a generous amount of vanilla.

 Add the dry mixture to the banana mixture.

Fold in until just mixed.

Pour batter into buttered 9 x 5 inch baking pan.

Bake at 350° until perfect.

It's got a nice crumb.

Buttered and toasted and buttered-again, banana bread is a wonderful thing.

Dee-licious!

You know what would make this even better?????

Drizzle some honey on it!

Perfection!

Enjoy.
