Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract*
  • 4 overripe bananas (mashed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 stick (or 1/2 cup butter, at room temp)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts (I did not use nuts for this recipe)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mash bananas in a bowl and set aside.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, salt in a bowl and set aside.
  • Cream butter and brown sugar until completely mixed together.
  • To the creamed butter mixture add the eggs, mashed bananas, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Blend completely.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients a little at a time. Blend thoroughly but don’t over mix. Scrape down the sides of mixing bowl if using a stand mixer so there are no lumps of flour left.
  • Pour into a well-greased loaf pan.
  • Bake on the lowest rack in your oven for 55-60 minutes. When it’s done you should be able to insert a toothpick and it will come out clean. If the top is getting too burnt and the inside is not done, cover it with aluminum foil and bake another five minutes.
  • Let cool before cutting with a serrated bread knife. Makes 1 loaf.
  • ENJOY!
