Banana Bread Recipe

banana bread

Is anyone else guilty of buying bananas and then watching them brown before you eat them? I do this fairly regularly and I think it might because I love banana bread so much! I subconsciously ignore the bananas so I will feel compelled to bake bread. It works every time! After going through many recipes over the years, this is my “go-to” recipe for banana bread.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
4 whole bananas mashed overripe bananas

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5 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; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf, comes out clean. Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

This never lasts long in our house and makes for a great snack.
