It's time to rescue those unfortunate fruits from the doom of the trash can and transform them into a delicious loaf that could make anyone swoon. Buckle up, because we’re about to venture into the realm of One Bowl Banana Bread!
One Bowl Banana Bread
This recipe is as simple as it sounds. Grab a bowl, toss in your ingredients, mix them up, and voila—banana bread magic happens! So, here's what you’ll need to whip up this delicious treat:
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar (you can reduce this if you want it less sweet)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it's heating, grab a huge mixing bowl and mash those bananas like your favorite toddler who just discovered their new art supplies.
- Once mashed, stir in the melted butter. Forget fancy mixers; this is all about the rustic vibe!
- Add the baking soda and salt next. Give it a whirl and watch as your banana mixture gets all bubbly and excited.
- Now, mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Make sure everything is evenly blended, like a group of friends at a party that all get along blissfully.
- Finally, gently fold in the flour. Be careful not to overmix it; we want banana bread, not banana bricks!
- Pour the batter into a greased 4x8 inch loaf pan (or whatever pan you found that’s not busy being a decoration).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean. If your toothpick has a little batter on it, let it bake a few minutes longer. No one likes gooey bread, unless it’s meant to be that way!
- Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, which will almost feel like an eternity when you can smell that delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen!
And there you have it! One Bowl Banana Bread that could distract even the fiercest critics. Slice, serve, and watch as your friends and family devour this amazing treat. Just remember to save a slice for yourself—you’ve earned it!
