Banana Bread

So, I'm sorry I haven't been posting. We've been extra busy around here. I've been wanting to make some of my Grandma's banana bread but my Grandma is out of town. I guess I'll have to wait for her recipe until she comes home. I found this recipe online and tried it out. It was definitely good banana bread. It was very moist and thick. I had never made banana bread and didn't realize how easy and fun it is to make.


Banana Bread:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas
  

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
4. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar.
5. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.
6. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten.
7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
9. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

I made a double batch, one with nuts and one without. This recipe yields one loaf. I also added more bananas.

Hope you enjoy! ~Cindy~
