Banana Bread :)

Hey y'all! Today decided to make some loaves of banana bread. Our last few bananas were getting pretty brown and spotty, and that's the perfect time to transform them. See, if you use fresh bananas the bread of course will be yummy and turn out...but if you use old bananas? You're giving them a new purpose - they're not fit to be eaten by themselves or even in yogurt or what not. At this point, it's cook them or throw them out. Sooooo why not take the opportunity to make such a scrumptious snack??
    Here's the recipe I use for Banana Bread :) I hope you guys enjoy!! If you try any of my recipes, please feel free to leave some feedback on how they turned out or if you liked them, same with the patterns I share. :)

Banana Bread

Ingredients:

    2-3 mushy bananas

    4 T. Milk

    1 stick softened butter

    2 eggs

    1 1/2 c. sugar

    dash salt

    1 t. baking soda

    2 c. flour

 

Preheat your oven to 350* and grease two bread pans. In a medium-large bowl, mash your mushy bananas! You can use a fork for this act of violence, or a hand-held mixer. ;)

  Next add your splashes of milk, 4 T. worth, along with the softened butter and eggs. Use the handheld mixer to blend up this gooey mixture. You want to make sure the butter and bananas are in chunks, not too big but definitely don't blend the mixture smooth.

   Scoop the sugar, salt, and soda into the bowl and using a wooden spoon or spatula mix well, setting aside the mixer. Add the 2 cups of flour, and stir until all the ingredients are mixed and you have a gooey yellow batter.

   Pour your batter into your bread pans, making sure the batter level reaches only about half-way up, no more than 3/4 full so that the quickbread will have room to expand as it cooks.

  

 

   Bake for 45-60 minutes, but check around 30 minutes to check and see how the little guys are doing. To tell if your loaf of banana bread is done, insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into the center, and slide out. If the stick comes out clean, then the bread is done! But if the stick is a little gooey when you remove it, cook for 5 more minutes and then try again until the stick comes out clean :)

   Take 'em out of the pans and let cool on wire wracks once they've cooked through, allowing to cool a good deal before you serve. This bread is amazing when served warm, or cool, with a spread of butter.

Enjoy! And as always,

 Love,
