Banana Bread for dummies

or busy mummies ...
Ok I admit I am no Masterchef .
Though I like to bake I am not a supercook.
I found this recipe for Banana Bread from a twitter link and it was so easy even my 3yr olds could have made it...well maybe a slight exaggeration. I had a similar recipe once before but lost it.

Banana Bread Recipe

• 3 or 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
  
• 3/4 sugar ( I used brown sugar for a more caramel flavour or you can use caster sugar)
  
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of plain (all-purpose) flour

The best thing is you don't need for a mixer for this recipe.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   
2. Mix melted butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon.
   
3. Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt , mix in well.
   
4. Lastly add flour , mix to smoothish batter.
   
5. The mixture will be thick , pour/spoon mixture into a buttered or baking paperlined 4x8 inch loaf pan.
   
6. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

Serve warm ...it doesn't last long.
Ps still chipping away at the mountains ...and wishing I had a rewind button.
