Delicious Banana Bread

This is one of the most delicious and moist banana breads that you will ever taste! I took a standard recipe for banana bread and tweaked it. Putting this together is really easy! Let me know what you think after you bake this gem!

Ingredients:

4 over-ripe bananas
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tsp. Baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger
1/8 tsp salt
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
½ cup mini-chocolate chips
½ cup raisins
1 ½ cups flour

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees, coat a 4” x 8 “ baking pan with oil or butter, lightly dust with flour. Set aside.

Use a mixer, or you can mix by hand with a large, heavy spoon. Cut the bananas into pieces, dropping them into the mixing bowl. Let the beater smash the bananas until they seem pasty.

Beat in egg, thoroughly.

Using a neat-durable glass measuring cup, melt butter until it reaches the the 1/3 mark. Let sit.

Deposit 1 cup sugar into bananas. Mix together thoroughly.

Beat in slightly melted butter and vanilla.

As the ingredients in mixing bowl blend, in another bowl, add the following ingredients and mix thoroughly: flour, baking soda,cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
*My tip for this process is to put these ingredients into a seal able container and shake well. They will be perfectly mixed and ready to be added to the mixing bowl.


Once dry ingredients are blended, reduce speed of mixer, and add dry ingredients slowly. Scrape the sides of the bowl frequently as ingredients are mixing.

Add any or all of the following: pecans or walnuts, min-chocolate chips,and or raisins. Beat slowly until these ingrediants are mixed in.

Pour (or spoon) into baking dish. Bake 1 hour. Insert knife to test if it is done enough, before removing from oven.
*My Tip: The knife should come out clean. If it does, immediately remove from oven. If not, bake for another 5-10 minutes depending on color of banana bread. If still fairly light you might need to bake longer. But test in increments of 5-10 minutes.
