Banana bread

(from BlueFinger’s recipe box)

says SimpleDollar – I usually pull out the loaf in the evening from the freezer, then slice pieces in the morning for breakfast. I like it plain – some put butter on it and warm it up. Then just pop it back in the freezer.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (white) flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 4 overripe bananas, mashed

Directions

  1. Use a very tiny amount of the butter to grease down a 9″ by 5″ bread loaf pan.

  2. Heat the oven to 350 F.

  3. Mix together the butter and brown sugar (a mixer works well for this, on low), then add eggs and mashed bananas until it’s all gooey and consistent.

  4. Add the rest of the ingredients, then stir just a bit more until it’s largely consistent.

  5. Pour the mix in the pan, stick it in the oven for about an hour, and you’re good.

  6. The ol’ toothpick test works to see if it’s done – slide in a toothpick in the middle and if it comes out clean and smooth, you’re good. Take it out, slice off some slices, and put the rest in a big Ziploc bag in the freezer.
