While I was driving to go to an event, I thought about my bananas that are starting to turn brown and I was bothered because I do not want to put them into waste also I forgot what you call the process — which Google reminded me as ENZYMATIC BROWNING. Do not trash them! They may be brown and overripe but they are perfect for your banana bread! But make it easy!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (not powder)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar (1/4 sugar if you want it less sweet)
3 overripe bananas (size does not matter whatever size of bananas you have will work)
1/3 cup melted butter
1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional; if you want the extra aroma)
Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients such as flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. Stir well.
3. Mash/grind the bananas manually using a fork or use a blender/food processor.
4. Make a crater in the flour mixture and add your wet ingredients such as mashed bananas, melted butter, egg and vanilla.
5. Mix all together the wet and dry ingredients using a food processor or spatula until you get a thick batter consistency.
6. Brush the loaf pan with butter or vegetable oil. Add your banana batter mixture.
7. Put in the oven and bake it for 45-55 minutes. You can poke the bread using a toothpick or fork to check if it is done. The fork should not have any wet batter as indicator that it is done.
