One banana banana bread.

Sometimes, you forget you bought bananas. And the next thing you know, they're brown and squishy and headed for the trash can. But stop! Don't throw them away! You have a great opportunity here. 

You know that saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"? Well I say when life gives you overripe bananas, you should totally make banana bread. 

Most banana bread recipes require several bananas. That's always a problem for me, because I tend to eat most of my bananas before they get too ripe. And that's why I love this recipe. You only need one banana. 

Let's do this.

One banana banana bread

Ingredients:

Large very ripe banana

egg with enough milk to make one cup liquid

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1 tsp baking soda

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in one large bowl. No need to sift or anything like that! Super easy. Mix until the lumps are mostly gone (if you use a hand mixer, use the medium setting -- if you over mix, the bread won't be soft and fluffy).

Grease bread pan (I used a muffin tin) and fill pan (or tins) 2/3 full. 

 

Bake for 50 minutes (or 10-15 minutes for muffins) at 350 F (175 C). It's done when it's golden brown and passes the toothpick test.
