Banana Bread



Bananas. I found a whole bunch of organic bananas for 50 cents/pound and could not resist. Banana bread was their future, as well as the freezer. And let me tell you, this recipe is hands down the best I have ever had. I am never really satisfied with my baking, there is always something to adjust, but I messed around with some recipes and came up with this one. It is a winner. When I make banana bread I add nuts, either pecans or walnuts and if the mood strikes, chocolate chips. Although that is very rare. Not a huge fan of chocolate chip laden foods. It has to be either full blown chocolate, or none at all... usually. This bread is really the base.



My Banana Bread.

2 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
4 medium bananas (1 1/3 cups mashed)
1/3 cup whole milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 whole wheat flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 325 f. Butter and lightly flour loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix together eggs and sugars. Add mashed bananas, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Add white and whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Let rest 10 minutes, then remove from pan to cooling rack.
Enjoy!
