Banana Bread

Banana bread. I've only heard of this particular dish a couple of weeks ago when a workmate mentioned that she just had the best banana bread ever. I'm not so into dessert or cake but I certainly love my bread, so I asked "What the heck is a banana bread?"

Apparently a banana bread is not a your day to day bread, it's more cakey. The idea of banana in a cake doesn't really get me going but somehow I can't get it out of my system. Everytime I walk pass the fruit section in the supermarket I have this urge to overbuy on bananas just so I have some leftover.

So today, even though I'm choked with cold, I decided to make a loaf of banana bread. After minutes googling the internet, I finally found one.

I adapted the recipe to my taste.

 Ingredients

• 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon cinammon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

Method

Preheat the oven to 175 C or gas 3/4.
Mix the bananas and melted butter in food processor (or in a large mixing bowl with wooden spoon)
Add in sugar, beaten egg and cinammon.
Add baking soda and salt, and mix in
Add the flour last
Pour the mixture into a buttered loaf pan (I use a 4x8) and bake for an hour.
Cool before serve

This bread is not just delicious but it makes the whole house smells like bakery!
