If you ever have overripe bananas, don’t throw them away! One of my favorite ways to use them is to make this glorious easy moist banana bread recipe. Even if I am on a diet that doesn't mean everyone else I know is and who wouldn't mind receiving a nice loaf of banana bread as a gift ;) Get creative... you can even add some walnuts or chocolate chips to this easy recipe if you want.
Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat over to 350 degrees.
Get a baking tray or loaf baking tray and butter all sides.
In a large bowl add in your butter and sugar. Blend with a hand blender until they come together.
Next, add in your banana and vanilla extract. Continue to blend.
Lastly, add in your egg and blend only until incorporated (don’t over blend).
In a second bowl add in your flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon - whisk together until evenly mixed.
Slowly start to add in your dry ingredients to your wet ingredient bowl and mix on low with your hand blender. You may have to use a spatula to scrape the dry ingredient that build up on the side.
Once blended, scoop out your banana bread batter and place in your baking tray.
Garnish the banana bread batter with the 3rd banana before placing the tray in the oven to bake for about 1 hour (check at 50 minutes). Take a toothpick and stick it in the middle of the bread if when you pull it out nothing is on the toothpick it is ready.
Set aside to cool before cutting and serving.
