NaNa NaNa NaNa Banana Bread!

Sometimes you just get an urge to make banana bread.  This is one of those times. I've just moved into a house for the summer (which is both sad because I miss my lovely little apartment and exciting because I now live with two of my best friends).  So this is my first blog post from this kitchen! The recipe is a bit improvised, but I think it turned out very well!

Banana Bread

2-3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup applesauce
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups flour

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2) With a wooden spoon, mix the butter  the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl.  Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in.  Add the flour in last, mix.

3) Pour mixture into a prepared pan (4 x 8 is recommended, I only had an 8 x 8).  Bake for 1 hour.  Cool on a rack.  Remove from pan and slice.

The smell is heavenly!
