The BEST Banana Bread!!

I discovered this recipe in Cameroon, where we had banana trees in our backyard...and even with the overabundance and cheapness of bananas, I never got tired of this stuff!! Even Josh will eat it, and he hates bananas!!

3-4 Ripe Bananas, smashed with a wooden spoon
1/3 c. + (75 g) melted butter (yes, I sometimes add more than 1/3 cup... and remember, it MUST be butter!!!!!)
3/4 c Sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp Baking Soda
Pinch of Salt (1/4 tsp, maybe??)
1 ½ c Wheat Flour
1 Tbsp Bean Flour
1 Tbsp Flaxmeal
1/2 c chocolate chips (optional)

With wooden spoon (yes, use a wooden spoon! It just tastes better that way!), mix butter into mashed bananas in a large white mixing bowl. Mix in sugar, egg and vanilla. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, then mix in. Add the Flour and chocolate chips last–mix just until it is all moist (about 25 stirs!). Pour mixture into a coated bread pan. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the top...it's SO yummy that way! Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Cool in the pan on the cooling rack for about 10 minutes to let set. Turn over to remove from pan. Let it cool completely, or eat it warm! :)
