- 4 overripe bananas
- 4 Tablespoons softened butter
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9-inch by 5-inch bread pan with butter or nonstick spray.
Mash the bananas in a large bowl.
Next, add the softened butter and egg and mix well.
Add the salt, baking soda, and sugar and mix well.
Add the flour and mix. Continue mixing until most of the banana lumps are gone.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
If the top of the banana bread starts to get too dark while baking, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top until it is finished baking.
I do not use a cake tester with this banana bread because it really doesn't let you know if the bread is done baking. I use a knife and check the center. If it comes out clean, it's done baking.
