Banana Bread Recipe

A lot of banana's get eaten in our house. Gabryle absolutely loves eating banana's. The other day I realized he still had a few banana's left that were getting pretty ripe so I decided to make some banana bread so I didn't have to throw the banana's out. It turned out pretty darn good even if I had to tamper with the recipe since I didn't have the full amount of mashed banana's it called for. It still has a great banana flavor. Here is the recipe I used below and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!!!

BANANA BREAD

2 cups All Purpose Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/4 tsp Salt

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup Brown Sugar

2 Eggs, beaten

2 1/3 cup Banana, mashed

1 cup chopped nuts if desired

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten and then add nuts if so using. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

When I made the recipe I only ended up having 1 cup of banana's mashed, so I added to that 1 cup of 2% milk and mixed it together before adding it to the butter mixture. It still had great banana flavor and cooked the same amount of time as stated in the recipe.I didn't have any nuts this time so I omitted them, but plan on using them next time. Enjoy!!!
