Banana Bread

Recipe


Prepare 2 loaf pans by greasing the bottoms and sides and adding a bit of flour and shake it all around to cover the bottoms and sides of each pan. Cream softened butter with sugar, add in eggs mixing well.

Mash bananas in a separate bowl. Add bananas into butter sugar mixture. In another bowl mix flour, salt, and baking soda.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Pour an equal amount into each prepared pan. This is where you can add what extra ingredients you want to each pan or make it plain. I always add to the tops of the pan then mix a bit in the pan itself.

You can add chocolate chips, berries, nuts of your choice, etc to the loaves before baking

Bake at 350 degrees for 43 minutes. Check with a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean of batter they are ready.
