Answer 2

Simpy's Banana Bread

This may not be the easiest but its the best tasting. I have tried many recipes over the past 20 years and this one is the best.

Banana Bread
2 cups all purpose flour
11/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped (optional)
confectioners sugar, for dusting

preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease or
spray 9 by 5 inch loaf pan or mini muffins pans

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside
Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have
a bit of texture. (or just put all 4 in). with an electric mixer fitted
with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together
for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream.
add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape
down the sides of the bowl. mix in the dry ingredients just until
incorporated; no need to overly blend. fold in the (nuts), and mashed
bananas with a rubber spatula. pour the batter into the prepared
loaf pan. give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.

bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden brown and
a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the
center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. rotate the pan
periodically to ensure even browning.
