So…what happens when you’re clearing everything out for the year, and discover three mushy bananas, a bag of flour, chocolate chips, and sugar…? Banana bread, of course. Oh wait…I don’t have any eggs. Or honey. Or yogurt. Or milk. Hmmm…
This is what happens.
Banana bread with six ingredients. 
Originally from this site.
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup not very packed brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter (well…I didn’t have any butter either. Unless you call spreadable fake Tesco’s margarine butter! ‘cause that’s what I used. I know, kinda gross but…:))
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda (maybe a bit less because of the decrease in sugar)
2 cups flour (I did half white and half wheat, with some flax seed and wheat germ thrown in—about two teaspoons of each. Remember that if you do half wheat flour, you’ll probably end up with a denser loaf, and it may cook faster. So keep an eye on it! :))
Optional: 1 cup chocolate chips. I used pretty massive ones.
Directions:
Mix mashed bananas and sugar.
Add melted butter. Mix well. Add flour, salt and baking soda, and mix gently until just together. Do not over-mix!
Pour batter into well greased and floured loaf pan. Smooth the top.
Bake in 350 oven for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over-bake.
For Muffins:
Put batter into 12 standard muffin cups/muffin tin.
Bake muffins at 375 for 10-15 minutes.
