Super easy and forgiving Banana Bread


Last summer I made this fantastic banana bread recipe that I have not been able to forget. Luckily I took some cool photos.

It was from Kitchn, I gotta say this site has pretty great stuff.  This recipe is very forgiving, so see my kind of recipe, you can change slightly ingredients and it still works. You can change white for brown sugar, add one more banana or one less, add water instead of milk, or yoghurt or kefir, put one less egg, that is what a forgiving recipe is you all.  Of course, like with ALL american recipes, I cut the sugar of this recipe, cause it called for 200 grams and I added 100 grams or 150, can't remember, but anyway add 100 and if it needs more add more.  And it was seriously real good. 

Here it is:

INGREDIENTS: 

-120 grams of butter.
-100 grams of sugar (no more because with bananas it's already got sugar!).
-2 large eggs.
-60 ml of milk or yoghurt or kefir.
-1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
-3 bananas.
-480 mg of flour (2 american cups)
-1 teaspoon of baking soda.
-1/4 teaspoon of salt.
-1/2 cup of nuts or chocolate chips (optional).

STEPS:

1. Melt the butter in the microwave and then add the sugar and stir.
2. Add the eggs, the milk and the vanilla and whisk all together.
3. Now in slices or already smashed add the bananas. You can then leave small chunks or "dissolve" it completely, kinda making it dissapear. I like the first option better.
4. Now add flour, baking soda and salt and combine until the flour dissappears.
5. Lastly add the nuts or chocolate tips.
6. Turn oven on and prepare batter into the dish with some baking paper that will resolve all your problems about stickiness, cleaning containers, etc.
7. Place in oven for about 1 hour, in about 180 degrees, fire only from botton, never grill. 
8. It is ready when the top becomes brown and it breaks a little like a peak of a mountain and you stick a knife and comes out clean.

Oh so good! the question now becomes: how not to gobble it in one day.
