Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup butter softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 3 medium ripe bananas

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, nutmeg and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until smooth.
  4. Blend in the egg.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring well.
  6. Add the bananas and mash them into the batter with a large fork until the mixture is creamy.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, checking at the 30 minute mark. The bread is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Makes one loaf or 32 mini muffins. Mini muffins bake much faster, so start checking them after about 10 to 12 minutes.
