Extras! ⊳ Recipes

This is a collection of the recipes I make and like enough to write down. Some of them are my own, but largely they're by other people (mostly my mom, but some people on the internet as well.) I have quite a few recipes saved up, but I'll add them as I make them. Feel free to make any of these!

Banana bread

Ingredients:

  • ⊳3 bananas (the riper the better!)
  • ⊳1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • ⊳1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • ⊳A teensy bit of salt
  • ⊳3/4 cup sugar
  • ⊳1 egg
  • ⊳1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⊳1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⊳1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. ⊳Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. ⊳Butter and flour a loaf pan (I use an 8.5x4.5 inch pan but slightly different sizes should work fine too.)
  3. ⊳Mash the bananas in a bowl with a fork until there's no big chunks.
  4. ⊳Melt the butter in the microwave. Mix it into the mashed bananas.
  5. ⊳Mix in the baking soda, salt, sugar, and vanilla.
  6. ⊳Mix in the egg. Make sure the mixture is not hot from the butter before doing this! Otherwise the egg will scramble and your batter will be yucky.
  7. ⊳Mix in the flour and chocolate chips.
  8. ⊳Pour the batter into the pan.
  9. ⊳Bake until a toothpick comes out clean (around 1 hour).
