[banana bread]

Yesterday I got the itch to bake something. For some reason I have an unending supply of frozen bananas in my freezer, so I opted for banana bread. I don't have a tried & true recipe that I always use, so I Googled "banana bread" & picked the first recipe that popped up since I had all of the ingredients. I think this little gem will be my forever go to recipe for banana bread! (:

3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed

1/3 cup melted butter

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

*Sprinkle of cinnamon

*1/3 cup of Craisins

No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
