Banana Bread (recipe yields 2 loaves)
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup melted butter (real butter, not margarine)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
5 cups mashed banana (usually about 8 bananas)
I always start out by mashing the bananas.
This day they weren't as ripe as they usually are but they were ripe enough.
Then I mix the "wet" ingredients together including the banana.
That's the butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and banana.
In a separate bowl, I mix the "dry" ingredients. Flour, soda and salt.
I add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until it's blended.
Don't over mix, it makes the bread less fluffy. I usually just mix until I see no more "dry" flour. Then pour mixture into greased loaf pans. You can do this in a cake pan too.
Bake at 350 for about an hour. If you're using a cake pan, you may want to
check it at about 30-35 mins because it won't be as thick. Let cool and enjoy!!!
We LOVE this with honey butter! Find that recipe below.
