One-Banana Banana Bread

Let's have a moment of honesty. How often do you throw out half a bunch of bananas because you let them get bad?? It's weekly for this fam. And therefore we get banana bread almost weekly as well! I found banana bread is one of the things that comes easy to me and that allows for some experimentation here and there. 

Something that happens to us a lot is that we only have one banana left that has gone bad, and all the recipes I find for banana bread call for 2-3 bananas, and adding one really doesn't cut it (believe me, I've tried). So here's a super easy banana bread recipe that'll make a normal amount but only uses one banana!

Ingredients:

1 very ripe/smashed banana

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

6 tbsp melted butter

3/4 cup almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups almond flour

2 tsp baking powder

any fun things you like to ad to your banana bread (walnuts, blueberries, chocolate chips...etc)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Use an olive oil to coat the inside of a bread loaf pan. Combine the banana and eggs with a whisk in a large bowl. In a small bowl combine the sugars, then add slowly to banana and egg mixture. Combine the butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract with a whisk and then add to the large bowl. Combine (I use a fork) the last few dry ingredients and slowly add to the rest. 

*If we're being completely honest here yes, you can just throw it all in a bowl and stir 😂*

The major reason you mix like ingredients before combining them together is to be sure every ingredient is as evenly dispersed as possible and therefore the thing your making will cook as evenly as possible. SO I do always mix wet and dry ingredients separately and then combine them all together but it isn't going to be disastrous if you want to take the quick way out and simply mix all the ingredients together. I would recommend to actually take time on the little extra things you decide to put in the banana bread, though. I chose chocolate chips, so after the entire regular batter was made, I sprinkled a few in and would lightly fold those in the batter (and I would do this with any add-ins at all, not just chocolate chips). I repeated that until I was satisfied with the amount of chocolate chips in the bread. (I repeated that a LOT 😉)

Bake 50-55 minutes.
