Banana bread

http://cookingwiththemark.blogspot.com

Ingredients
4 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 c melter butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 t vanilla
1 t baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour

Directions
Heat oven to 350°. In a large mixing bowl, mix butter into the mashed bananas with a wooden spoon. Then mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture and fold in. Add flour last and mix well. Pour into a buttered 4"x8" loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Cool on a cookie rack, remove from pan and serve. I know it's guilding the lily, but I like serving it warm, buttered. Variation include adding crushed walnuts, chocolate chips, or pieces of dried fruit.

Uh, no. 

No "variations" needed; banana bread is supposed to be banana bread, not combination-of-unrelated-ingredients-bread.

1. I'm glad you put walnuts in the "variation" category.

I hate walnuts in banana bread.

Maybe that's why she like it so much!

3. The recipe is great.

Your banana bread recipe is great. But walnuts ruin the soft texture and add nothing to the taste. IMHO.
 
Thumbs up on the chocolate chip idea.

4. It turns out so moist! Another variation is adding lemon zest.

According to my wife. I actually like it plain, like the recipe.

Plain is best; no need to add junk to what's already good.

5. I add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and a touch of clove

and it becomes a fall festive treat that makes the house smell great.

6. Before you mash those bananas, I would suggest roasting them on a baking sheet at 350F

for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until they turn black. It really intensifies the flavor.

7. When they're frozen, they're pretty much mush

So I don't know about roasting them.

8. I'm sure you're right. I would only roast fresh bananas in the skin.

It really does bring out the flavor. I plan on doing it from now on when I make banana bread or muffins.

I wonder if hanging out in the cooking and baking forum of Skin's island would do the LocoNuts primitive any good? 

Firstly, cooking would be a sufficient enough distraction to keep his mind off of the clown car full of psychiatrists that are knocking down his parents' door to see him.

Secondly, it would keep his hands busy, which in turn would give that poor rubber vagina he carries around like a security blanket a rest.

He might make an okay cook.  I just wouldn't eat any pies I know he's been around.

And bananas are "optional". It is sufficient that the DUmmies want it to be banana bread.
