    One  of  my  personal  favorite  recipes  to  bake,  not  only  because  it  is  one  of  the  only   things  I  can  actually  successfully  bake  is  banana  bread.  Banana  bread  is  a  delicious   recipe  which  only  takes  about  five  minutes  to  prep  and  an  hour  to  bake.   INGREDIENTS 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed 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 METHOD No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, 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. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.     19   19.
