As the temperatures for yesterday were supposed to be in the 90s, I decided it&#8217;d be a great idea to make them into banana bread when I got home. Of course, once I had decided that, I couldn&#8217;t get &#8220;B-A-N-A-N-A-S&#8221; out of my head, and as I write this I am singing it in my head.<\/p>\n<p>I searched the Internet for a recipe that I had all the ingredients for.<\/p>\n<p>Finally I settled on this one:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup melted butter<\/li>\n<li>1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3\/4 cup)<\/li>\n<li>1 egg, beaten<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/2 cups of all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The original recipe is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elise.com\/recipes\/archives\/001465banana_bread.php\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I changed the recipe a little&#8211;I used, 4  tablespoons of butter, or a half stick, instead of 5 1\/3 the recipe calls for, and I used 1\/2 cup of sugar instead of 1 or 3\/4. I also added about 2.5 tablespoons of cinnamon, and only 3 bananas. Delicious.  So, my modified recipe below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 ripe bananas, smashed<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 stick of butter (4 tbsp)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup of sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 egg, beaten<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/2 cups of all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>2.5 tbsp cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It was a huge hit with the boys, my roommates P and E. We&#8217;ll see if Jeff will try a piece, as he doesn&#8217;t like banana bread very much. But, it was a good breakfast for me, and a great alternative to ice cream after dinner, so as far as I am concerned, job well done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I left the house in a rush yesterday morning, it occurred to me that the bananas that I had bought at the farmer&#8217;s market this weekend were getting black spots.
