1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 ripe banana, mashed

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease baking sheets.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer. Add the banana, egg, and vanilla and beat on medium speed until smooth.

With the mixer running, slowly add the flour mixture to the banana mixture. Mix until blended.

Very tasty and soft! We ran out of baking trays and ended up spooning dollops into muffin tins -- just as tasty, if not more so!

Wonderful! Cakelike texture. The kids love them. I used milk chocolate chips for a better flavor.
