Banana Bread

The smell of banana bread is filling my house. It is wonderful!  That has to be one of the best aromas in the world.. the smell of fresh baked bread. Mmmmm… mmmmm

 

 

What you’ll need

3 ripe bananas

3/4 cup of sugar

1 3/4 cups of flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup butter (save the butter wrappers!)

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tablespoon of milk

 

Cream butter, sugar, and milk in large mixing bowl on medium speed with mixer. In separate bowl combine flour, soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to mixing bowl a little at a time and mix until combined. In the bowl that held the dry ingredients, add 3 ripe bananas and mash well with a fork. Add bananas and mix well. Pour into buttered loaf pan (this is where the butter wrappers come in handy 😉 ).  The loaf pan I used is 9 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.  **I dusted the bottom of the pan with cinnamon and sugar. It gives the bread a yummy crust on the bottom. Use flour instead if you like. Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes. Bread is done when knife or toothpick comes out clean.
