We all have those mushy blackened ripe bananas lying around. You know the ones sitting on your counter right now! We go to the store and we buy enough bananas for the week, and well things are rough getting out of the house in the morning, and more than likely you're not thinking about the bananas on your way to work. If you're me, you're thinking, damn, I REALLY need coffee and I shouldn't have stayed up to watch the next episode of True Blood.

So the week goes on and there they are, rotting away, your very own science project working itself out in your kitchen... There is a one last step to saving their pathetic mushy souls, mash'em up and mix them with butter, sugar, flour and Bake them! YUM, isn't it better to save the banana? Who cares if you had to go to the store to buy things you didn't have to make the bread that will save the banana? That's unimportant. The outcome, the product, the consumption, that's what's important here.

EASY Peazy Banana Bread

2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp of salt
1tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup of butter (or i've used Olive oil, and it works great as well)
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups of mashed bananas
3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Optional: chopped Nuts, chocolate chips


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Preheat oven to 350degrees

Cream the butter, vanilla, and sugar together in a bowl

Combine the flour, soda, salt in a large bowl, add the creamed sugar, then followed by the beaten eggs, and banana mixture. Mix Well.

In a loaf pyrex dish, butter the bottom and sides and coat with thin layer of flour to prevent sticking.

Add the banana bread mixture to the dish and level. Place in the oven for 60minutes, or until the toothpick comes out completely clean, the top will be a deep golden brown.

ENJOY :)
