Banana Bread

My first recipe post woo hoo! This is a favourite in our household :o)

Excuse the slightly darker bits in the top of the loaf I used all the manky bananas I had in the house for this particular loaf and it took longer than usual to cook but it was still nomtastic!


3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar (or for the sweeter toothed 3/4 of a cup)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla 
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups of gluten free flour


(You can also add additional ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add chopped Almonds and a couple of tea spoons of cinnamon. Walnuts and Pecans also go great.)


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 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


Try and enjoy. Let me know how it goes if you decide to make it.
