Banana Bread

we had my mother's 85th birthday celebration this past weekend and for the sunday brunch i made
banana bread (with no nuts for katie kelly!) and everyone raved and raved about the bread.

here is the recipe:

Banana Bread

3-4 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 c. melted butter

put the mashed bananas and the melted butter in a bowl and stir well to incorporate.

Mix in:

1 c. granulated sugar

1 egg

1 t. pure vanilla

sprinkle 1 t. baking soda and pinch of salt over mixture and incorporate.

Add 1 ½ c. all purpose flour and mix well.

Pour into buttered 4 x 8 loaf pan.

(sprinkle top with baker’s sugar if desired)

bake one hour at 350*.  (use tester to make sure bread not wet)

(i haven't tried freezing this bread but would think it would do well for a short time)
