DIY - Banana Bread
Earlier this week I had one of those mornings when nothing seems to be going right. No matter how fast I went, there was no way I was making it to work on time. As I'm leaving the house I realize I forgot my breakfast. Rushing, I run into the kitchen, grab my weekly bunch bananas and pull off one of the fresh, just ripe pieces. Carelessly placing the rest of them on the island, when I accidentally dropped them on the floor. I thought they'd be slightly bruised by the time I got home but still edible. I never thought the yellow fruit would be completely smashed and almost black.

- 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed *I used 3 but will probably go with 5 next time*
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- Mix in flour.
- Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Cool and remove from pan.
- Slice to serve.
