+# Banana bread
+
+Got some overripe bananas? Don't let them go to waste!
+
+This recipe is standmixer-friendly, but you can also do it all by hand.
+
+- Mash a 2-3 medium-sized bananas until it's more or less homogeneous. (With a standmixer, just use the beater attachment on the lowest setting for a minute or two)
+- Add in 3/4 cup of brown sugar.
+- (Optional, but tasty) Add in 2-3 tbsps of maple syrup.
+- Add in a splash of vanilla extract (higher quality vanilla extract makes a huge difference in outcome)
+- (Optional) Add in the zest of half-a-lemon.
+- Make sure all of the above is well-mixed. If using a standmixer, use the beater attachment on the lowest setting for a minute or two)
+- Mix about a teaspoon of baking soda with water and add this to the mix
+- Use the next-to-lowest setting on the mixer for a minute, or a vigorous round of spoon-beating.
+- Add in an egg, repeat the beating above until you can see bubbles in the mix.
+- Add 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour and mix it all together until you get a proper dough.
+
+You can pour the dough in a bread pan and bake at 360F~ for about an hour.
