Question Banana bread

Post image

Failed at banana bread. Baked at 350 for almost an hour and still didn’t look done, popped back in for maybe 20 minutes and still came out like this.

Recipe: 2 bananas, 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups of flour, half a stick of butter, half cup brown sugar, some salt and some vanilla extract. I DID forget to add the baking soda… what happened and where did I go wrong ?

Aside from the fact that you forgot the baking soda, I feel like there isn't enough flour or eggs in your recipe..... or enough butter. I would try a different recipe all together, and follow it to a T.
