I have a delish-i-o-so recipe for you today as my daily creative (remember, there's a very wide latitude in the rules for this thing. And I aim to keep 'em that way, tuh-duh-duh! LOL )
This one's called Easy Banana Bread, but don't let the name fool you into thinking that easy means bland or dry, cuz this is neither. The key to it is 3 ripe bananas that are almost trash-worthy. You want to be able to mash them thoroughly with your potato masher or whatever you use. I've been making b-bread for years, and I was told when I began that they need to be that ripe because only then will their flavor fully blend and gell with the other ingredients. There have been a few times that I doubted that and went ahead and made it with bananas that were still edible, well, as peel-and-eat bananas. And the bread was kind of tasteless. So, wait to make this until the time is "ripe".
I took a pic of my bananas before I made this so you could see just how disgusting they look. Not so far gone as to be attracting any insects, I want you to note, LOL, but I personally wouldn't eat them. Then again, I usually give a banana one bruise; any more and we are done, so I might be a nana-wuss, LOL.Anyway, on with the show: (oh yeah, babe, doncha know, I'm Rachel Ray in 20 years, cough-cough)
INGREDIENTS:
3 large bananas , well mashed
1 egg
1 stick of butter, melted
1 1/2 cup of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup nuts, optional (I add chopped walnuts, yum)
PREPARATION:
Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl; put into a well greased loaf pan. Bake at 350° for about 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in middle comes out clean.
And, voila! I plan to eat on this for breakfast, snack, and dessert, if the mood strikes me. I actually get pretty lazy when it's in the house. That's two of three meals, ok? Cereal works for the third, I mean come ON! ROFLI will be back tomorrow with a full-fledged episode of Aimeslee's Antics (hey, I smell a blog name change, don't you? LOL) Enjoy the rest of our weekend!

I have two banana bread recipes and I'd love to try this one. I always put my bananas in paper bags so they ripe faster. I LOVE banana bread! Do you put walnuts in yours? I don't because the kids don't like it but I like it.
OH YUM!! I love Banana nut bread. One thing I have noticed that when I use bananas that are VERY ripe, I can cut the amount of sugar I use. Cuts down on some of the calories.

lol...i love banana bread. it looks delish!
G'morning Aimelsee! I'm starting my day on your blog as promised. And well worth it too - that banana bread looks mmmm mmmm good! Haven't made banana bread in a while, so I'll have to get on this one soon. My bananas are greener than green at the moment .....I'll have to get riper ones, or wait a few days.
Thanks for your awesome comments on my blog - and for adding me to your blogroll. ;)
I love banana bread too. I like it with or without walnuts. Since it's just me, it's whatever strikes my fancy. I personally like most of the fruit breads. I'm not a huge sweets person so the breads are just right.
Thanks for posting this! I have some bananas on my counter right now that are looking just like yours....guess I need to make some bread!
