simple banana bread

Classic Banana Breadadapted from Elise, who got it from Mrs. Hockmeyer

3 to 4 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar (1/4 cup brown, 1/4 cup white)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of roughly chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Stir the butter into the bananas. Add in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Add in the baking soda and the salt and mix. Add the sifted flour last. Stir the batter until just mixed. Toss in the walnuts and then lightly stir.

Pour the batter into a loaf pan and pop into the oven for about 1 hour.

Makes 1 loaf.
