Banana Bread
This is my recipe for banana bread… I can’t remember where I found it, but it has been modified to use no oil. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not uber-healthy by any means. It’s just my go to recipe. 😉
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour loaf pan.
2. In mixer, mash bananas. Add flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, baking powder, & baking soda.
Baking purists are wincing here I know… You can mix all the dry ingredients together first before adding to bananas. But I have been in a hurry (or lazy to dirty another bowl rather) and threw everything in the Kitchenaid and it worked out fine. 😉
3. Add eggs and mix well. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes.
You can add other things in here like chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans. My family likes it plain so that is how I usually make it. I have one in the oven as we speak that is half plain and half dotted with pecans…
