Ingredients:

2 c. overripe bananas, mashed
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. unbleached flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 c. sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

The darker your banana the better. Overripe bananas add more moisture to bakery.

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350°. Cream sugar and butter together with a wooden spoon. Add beaten eggs and blend them in.
Add mashed bananas, baking soda, vanilla, flour and salt. Mix everything well. There might be a few little banana chunks, so if you like a perfectly smooth batter you could use a mixer.
Pour mixture into a loaf pan and bake at 350° around 90 minutes or till a toothpick appears clean. Make sure to begin checking for doneness at about 60 minutes. Serve as you like.
