banana bread

i am sooooo not a baker by any means. the other day i had some banana's that were looking a little too ripe and thought "what the heck, let's make me some banana bread!"
googled "easy banana bread recipes" and this is what i got. it was so easy and tasted amazing. so if even i can't mess it up, i'm sure anyone can make it.

oh yeah, and i ate the entire loaf myself over two days....shhhhh, don't tell anyone!


Banana Bread Recipe

* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 teaspoon vanilla

Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack.
