Banana Bread

Danielle asked for a banana bread recipe. Here is my version (or my mom's version).

3 ripe bananas
1 c. sugar (white or brown)
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 egg
1 1/2 c. flour (white or whole wheat or a mix)
1 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
chocolate chips (optional)
nuts (optional)

Mash bananas in a bowl, add sugar, butter, and egg and stir well. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. (If you use the chocolate chips and/or nuts, you might want to stir them into the flour first and then stir everything into the wet mix so that they don't fall to the bottom of the pan. You could also just fold them in at the end.) Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 325 for about 1 hour. You can also bake them in muffin tins for 20 minutes at 400.
