Banana Bread

Oh my gosh...I just cut a piece of this bread and it was delicious!!! Still a little warm from the oven! This is so easy to mix up and bake. I did it before I had my coffee today...to beat the desert heat!

3 or 4 well ripened bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar (this can be reduced to 3/4 cup no problem)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Baking Flour
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill White Rice Flour

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Peel and mash the bananas in large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon

3. Add the melted butter and stir

4. Add the vanilla and stir

5. Add the sugar and stir

6. Add baking soda and stir

7. A couple shakes of salt

8. Add the cup of all purpose flour and stir

9. Add the 1/2 cup of white rice flour and stir

10. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.

11. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into it

This is delicious and a great way to use bananas when they start to get soft. Here in the desert everything gets soft pretty darn quickly!

Well, enjoy!
