Janine’s Best Banana Bread
Ripe bananas are the key to this sweet, no-frills delight. Hidden inside its sweet, slightly crunchy crust is soft and chewy banana goodness.

Set oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees C).

Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan very lightly.

Butter and sugar are whipped together in a sizable bowl.

Add the egg and banana puree after beating.

Salt, baking soda, and flour should only be combined barely.

Fill prepared loaf pan with mixture.

Bake for one hour in a preheated oven.

If the top starts to brown too quickly, slightly reduce the heat.

The outside should be crisp and crunchy, with the center being soft and chewy.
