The Nifty Foodie

I ended up noticing while making the Pumpkin cake, that we had some pretty ripe bananas on the counter. So, I forked out a recipe I’ve been eyeing for quite some time and went to work on this!

Banana Bread
Source: Allrecipes

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (omitted)Directions:
  1. Grease an 8×4 inch loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

   

• In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add butter, eggs, nuts, and mashed banana. Beat until well blended.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

 

This bread was OK, but I think next time, I’m going to look for a recipe using MORE bananas. It had a pretty subtle banana flavor, and I wanted more! I love bananas!
