BANANA BREAD


Recently, I was heading out of town with my mom to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and my cute nieces and nephews.  Since I did not want the bananas to go bad that were on the counter, I decided to make some banana bread to take with us. The recipe is slightly adapted from the one I found in a Betty Crocker cookbook.

Now let's get to baking!

These are the ingredients you will need to make this tasty Banana Bread:

  INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/4 cups Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 Mashed Ripe Bananas (3-4 approximately)
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 TBSP Vinegar
  • 2 TSP Vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups Flour
  • 1 TSP Baking Soda
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • OPTIONAL:  1 cup chopped walnuts
DIRECTIONS
1.  Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease bottom only of loaf pan.

2.  In an electric mixer cream together butter and sugar.



3.  Add eggs, mashed bananas, milk mixture, and vanilla.  Blend together.  NOTE:  Pour vinegar in measuring cup and then add enough milk to make 1/2 cup.



4.  Add flour, baking soda, and salt.  Blend together until all ingredients are fully incorporated.  




5.  Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes or until golden brown and done in the center. Test centre with a knife or toothpick.  Banana bread is done when it comes out clean.


6.  Allow to cool for several minutes in the pan and then turn out on cooling rack to finish cooling.



7.  Slice and serve!  Wrap up any leftovers in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.  Banana Bread freezes well.
 

Enjoy!
