One Banana Banana Bread
1 Large Very Ripe Banana (or two small ones)
1 Egg with enough milk to make One Cup liquid
1 Stick butter/margarine (softened)
1 tsp Vanilla
1-1/2 Cup Flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking Soda
Nuts (optional)
Put all ingredients in a large bowl together (don’t need to sift or
mix anything beforehand). Use mixer on slow to medium to mix until
lumps are pretty well gone (not too long or bread will be too firm).
Pam-Spray® bread pans (do not flour).
Fill pans 2/3 full
Bake 55 Minutes @ 350 Degree until Golden Brown. Toothpick test for
doneness. This bread comes out quite moist and quite a lot of banana
flavor (with only the one banana)!
You can use this same recipe to make itty bitty, kid-sized teacakes
(bake time is about 15-18 minutes), cupcakes, small loaves, etc.
The baked bread can be wrapped up in foil and frozen. Just pull it
out, defrost it, unwrap and reheat in paper towel in the microwave
until warm. Slice it and enjoy!
I love banana bread, it tastes great and it’s really easy to make. I can’t seem to ruin it, no matter how “hard I try”
Found lots of recipes there..

I just tried this recipe. As I had only one banana just sitting on my kitchen counter looking sad and lonely. However, I put my own twist on it. So, we shall see how that goes.
Whenever I discover a new recipe I always tend to add something extra to the bunch. I did see a recipe awhile ago called peanut butter banana bread so I decided to decrease the sugar to about 2/3 cup and add some peanut butter (to taste), as well as a tsp of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of nutmeg to this recipe. Will let you know how they turned out. Thank you for the recipe

This recipe is great, I didn’t think I could make a banana bread that would actually taste like banana using just one banana but it worked.

Great banana bread recipe! The batter is pretty thin, which made my addition of chocolate chips more of a chocolate crust on the bottom, but the bread turned out great. Might be my new standard recipe.

Check out Paula Deen’s Banana Recipe . It is the one I use most of the time. The one banana bread recipe is great for that last banana.

Can actually taste the banana-which surprised me. Pretty good considering I only used one medium sized banana. I made muffins and I think I overfilled the cups because the bottoms had to be too well done in order to make the middles cooked.

I made this tonight. We loved it. Only one banana and I threw in mini chocolate chips about 3/4 cup maybe. I had to let it cook for 1 hour but it was good. I think you should give iT A TRY

I just took this bread out of the oven. I came out great. Not the BEST banana nut bread that I’ve had but, since I only had one banana it worked out. I will make this again when I have one last rotting banana lying around. (:
