Banana Bread

I did it, and I think it was a success. At least everyone enjoyed it.
The bottom was a bit overdone, I think I will try a glass pan next time.

I gave part of it to my BigBro, left a slice for Grandma Betty for breakfast. Gave one to Renee. Sent one slice home with Grandma Maryanne. The rest was mine. So far, nobody has complained- except that there wasn't more. Hey! We only had two bananas and it was really hot out. As far as I am concerned there was a TON of baking/cooking happening around here for 90 degree weather. More on the big birthday meal later...



Banana Bread
3/4 c sugar
1/2 c butter
2 eggs
1 c mashed ripe banana (about 2)
1/3 c milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 c flour
1/2 c nuts
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pre-Heat Oven to 350.
Grease loaf pan.
In one bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, set aside. (I dumped it onto a chopping mat) In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, milk and beat until smooth. Add banana and blend. Combine dry ingredients and nuts to bowl and mix until all moist. Pour into loaf pan and bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 50 minutes.

Next time I might add some chocolate chips.

Anyway. Next post I will discuss the Birthday meal for my BigBro. It was quite the undertaking but it was also a great success. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
