Banana Bread
/As the air gets crisp in the morning, I really like a piece of homemade banana bread with a hot cup of coffee. I, however, am not a great baker, but fortunately, my husband is. Here's our favorite recipe.
Banana Bread
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed bananas
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350º F. Lightly butter (or grease) a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer), cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into the banana mixture and gently mix, just to moisten.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. (I check it after 50 minutes and go up as needed from there.) Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
