No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and freshly scraped vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

We used fresh Vanilla pods here, Ricks mom and dad bought them back from Madagascar. They have the most incredible taste! Believe it or not, raw Vanilla smells kinda weird, not like the taste at all! So if you can't get fresh vanilla, you can use vanilla essence too (+-2 teaspoons).
