This recipe makes one very large loaf (I think it's a 2 QT loaf pan)... or a bunch of muffins if you
fill the tins up half way. Keep an eye on muffins - they will not need an hour to bake! This is a
very good recipe.
Banana Bread
1 cup sugar
1/2 cups salted butter (at room temperature) 2 eggs 3 mashed bananas (make sure they're good and
ripe!) 1 and 1/2 cup flour 1 tsp. baking soda
2/4 cup nut meats - optional - or 3/4 cup chocolate chips, since I prefer them to nuts
(also optional)
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease (I use butter) and flour your glass loaf pan. Cream sugar and butter
together, then add eggs and mashed banana and mix well. Add your dry ingredients, mix until just
incorporated. At this point, you may add your chocolate chips and/or nut meats. You don't have to
mix it to death - just until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Place in prepared pan. You
can sprinkle with a bit of granulated sugar if you want a bit of crunch. Bake 1 hour. I place over-
ripe bananas in a bag kept in the freezer. This way I do not waste bananas and I always have some
available for this recipe. I leave them in the skin, which will turn black. I thaw them partially
before mashing them. They will be very loose and wet, but that is just fine.
