One Bowl Banana Bread
Lately I have been running like a chicken with my head chopped off. Pretty visual, I know. So not much has been getting cranked out of my kitchen lately. That needs to change, pronto! In one of my “dash to the grocery store to pick up stuff” moments, I grabbed a bunch of bananas not realizing that there were already a bunch sitting on the kitchen counter. Oops. When life hands you bananas….oh you already know what I’m going to say. Anyway, I decided to make some Banana Bread. This recipe is incredibly easy. One bowl…that’s it. Just put all of the ingredients in, give it a good stir to incorporate and then you’re off to the races. This bread is a little more dense than recipes where you cream the butter and a lot more banana-y (is that a word) than ones that call for only 2 or 3, but it’s still a really great bread and you can’t beat the ease. I would offer a pictorial here, but…..why? The end product is far more interesting than a shot of my bowl with the ingredients. Right? Enjoy!
