In commemoration of my first post, I would like to share something that I myself enjoy making very much. I’m sure many of you have experienced not knowing what to do with over-ripe bananas that are too mushy to eat. So instead of throwing them away, a better alternative is to recycle them into something else.
Here is a classic banana bread recipe for banana lovers. This recipe has worked for me on first try, so it really shouldn’t be difficult. If you’re like me who likes to change the recipe or substitute ingredients, that’s fine as well. Everyone has different tastes and preferences, so why not make something that you’ll enjoy! It’s simple, quick, resourceful, and tastes good, so be sure to give it a try!
Banana Bread
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 -1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas
- 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, or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
Comments and questions greatly welcomed.
