Banana Bread



Well it's 60 degrees here in beantown today. No wonder everyone is sick. Riding home on the train today, there's people coughing and sneezing everywhere. Ahh, the joys of public transportation. Not sure which I hate more, the hacking or the lady who decides to gnaw on a hard boiled egg for breakfast in the seat next to me. She seems to park her smelly arse next to me at least once a month and I'm disgusted. Barf.

Okay on to the good stuff. I love me some banana bread. I've never had much luck with any other recipes until I found this recipe. Very moist (I know...I hate that word but I could not think of another way to describe it). I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients:
2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 mashed over ripe bananas

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly greease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

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 and stir until moist. Pour batter into greased loaf pan.

Bake in a preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool for 10 minutes, then turn out on a wire rack.

Yummy!
