Banana bread king

Last night, I went to bed early because I wasn't feeling very well, and last I remember Zac was asking me where the old bananas were...When I woke up this morning there was a perfect loaf of banana bread sitting on our kitchen counter. This is a good surprise, the stack of mixing bowls in the sink not so much, but I didn't mind because there was a banana bread on the counter and making banana bread was on the to do list I did not finish the night before.  So the day started off on a very high note thanks to my dear and loving husband who is the king of making me happy. It was buttery, the perfect sweetness, and sinfully moist.

Zac's brother took us to the Avengers, which if you have not yet seen now is the time to scratch out all of your plans for the next 24 hours until you have seen it. It was that good. Rotten tomatoes gave it 93%, which is unheard of! Mark Ruffalo was quite impressive as the Hulk, and it was really well made, clean, pure action. Movie snacks from the concession stands are always overpriced, so we snuck in some Sourpatch and Peanut M&Ms we bought in bulk from a candy store. Let it be known that movie theaters do not check bags! I did not know this so I nearly had a panic attack trying to get my wallet, keys, planner and cell phone to cover the bags of candy so they would not be seen. Now I will be more gutsy with the kind of snacks I bring in to the movies. 

Today was a great day. It ended with a pizza pie from Little Ceasar's, a cold glass of root beer in a glass goblet, and a slice of banana bread (his was smothered with nutella). Perfect I tell you, perfect.

Here is his golden recipe:

3-4 ripe bananas (medium sized) mashed
1/3 cup melted butter or apple sauce
1 cup of dark brown sugar
1 beaten egg
1 1/2 cup flour or for a healthier version 1/2 white, 1c whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon good vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375

Mix butter and bananas, add eggs, vanilla, sugar, salt. Add baking soda. Add flour, first by mixing it in and end with folding it in. If you are a chocolate chip/nut fanatic now would be the time to ad a cup of either or half a cup of both. Bake in buttered loaf pan for 55 min to an hour. Wooden tooth pick will come out easily without any resistance or residue when done. Let sit for at least 5 hours before you cut into it.

And here is the banana bread king:
