Bangin' Banana Bread

Do you see any butter on that serving of banana bread? NO. You know why? It doesn't need it! This is the absolute best, most moist (moistest?) banana bread EVER. Let's go!

Here's what you need:

2 over-ripe (not to be confused with spoiled) bananas
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour **NOT all purpose stuff AND baking soda AND salt. ridiculous...**
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
2 applesauce cups (not like CUPS of applesauce. two of the small servings of applesauce. I used strawberry)
1/3 cup melted butter

Here's what you do:

1. Preheat your oven to the magic temperature: 350°
2. Mush the bananas up in a bowl. 
3. Mix in the sugar, egg, vanilla, butter and applesauce
4. Add the flour last, stir it until it's all moist
5. Rub that bread pan down with a stick of butter...yeah...like that
6. Pour the batter into the pan
7. Bake for exactly one hour. ONE hour.
8. Take it out of the oven (duh). If there's nothing wrong with your oven, the bread should be perfectly done. If you really want, go ahead and stab it to be sure.

This is important! It smells great. It does. Your tummy is rumbling. WALK AWAY. Go organize that closet you've been ignoring. The bread needs to cool. For a WHILE. It's like waiting on a chick to get ready for a date. You get irritated but it's worth it. 

After the bread has cooled sufficiently, dig in! Serve it on a fancy plate with a glass of milk on the side. You won't be disappointed!
