Easy, no mixer needed, banana bread recipe

Made this today and thought it would be great with the Bridal Shower Brunch recipe for crepes I posted earlier. This particular banana bread recipe is good for us because I can't have nuts and my husband hates them anyway.  Also, no need for a mixer which I love!  Makes it a little bit easier to whip up in a hurry.  Easy, cheap, and simple ingredients too!

 Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

Method

No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

Makes one loaf.
