I have wanted to make banana bread for a while now, unfortunately I never seem to have overly ripe bananas. Finally I looked in the fruit basket and there lay 3 bananas, just screaming to be made into a delicious banana bread. So that's just what I did. I found this recipe on Simply Recipes and then modified it to my liking. I love adding blueberries because they are so juicy and tasty. I used fresh but frozen are perfectly fine.
Ingredients:
Makes 1 pan
4 ripe bananas, smashed
1 pint of blueberries (fresh or frozen - if frozen defrost before use)
1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup of flour
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix butter into the smashed bananas in a large mixing bowl - I used a mashed potato utensil to smash the bananas. Combine in the sugar, egg, vanilla, then the spices. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt and mix. Add the flour last, and slowly fold into mixture. Pour batter into a baking pan - I used a round cake pan but I think a loaf pan may be more ideal. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until your fork comes out clean when inserted. Let cool on rack and serve when ready.
