'naner bread

Adapted from Simply Recipes (http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001465banana_bread.php)

I have rebelled against Westbrook family mores and baked delicious banana bread with BUTTER. The butter is what makes it magnificent. Good day.

Ingredients

* 3 ripe bananas, smashed (I like to freeze them and then warm them up in warm water--this makes them get all melty-like)
* 1/3 c melted butter
* 1/2 c sugar
* 1 egg, beaten (fork is fine--no need for a mixer)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1.5 t baking powder
* 1/4 t saltjavascript:void(0)
* 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
* 1 t cinnamon
* 1/4 t cloves

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon or spatula, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Pour mixture into a buttered (MORE BUTTER) 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 45 min until a chopstick inserted into the middle comes out clean.* Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
