OK yall, this banana bread is SO easy to make! I'm not much of a cook or baker, but I can make me some banana bread!! (I know, that is bad grammar, but I just had to say it :))
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1/3 margarine/butter
2 tbsp milk
2 eggs
In a large mixer bowl combine 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add mashed banana; shortening, margarine or butter; and milk. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed till blended, then on high speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and remaining flour; beat till blended.
Pour batter into a greased 8x4x2 inch loaf pan. Bank in a 350 oven for 55 to 60 minutes or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from the pan; cool thoroughly on a wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing. Makes 1 loaf (16 servings)
**optional: add chopped walnuts to batter.
I usually toast my slice and spread cream cheese over it. Banana bread is so delicious for breakfast!
On another note, thank you to everyone who came out for First Friday's! It was a huge success. I'm excited to see what the future holds!
