Austin's Banana Bread

This is our family's all-time favorite banana bread! Austin discovered the recipe a couple years back, and I have not made another banana bread since. This loaf has great flavor, and is extremely moist. I share it with excitement!



3 or 4 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup flour

No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, mix butter into the mashed bananas. Add to that the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last. Pour mixture into a buttered* 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake 1 hour.

*After buttering the pan, I sometimes coat it with a sprinkling of sugar, both on the buttered pan as well as on the top of the loaf. For a special treat, it sure is tasty!
