The Best Banana Bread |

So I will start by saying this. I hate waste….I try our best to not par take in it. I purge, I sell, I donate….I used to compost but a dog and a toddler made it a little crazy.

I have been buying tons of fruit lately. 1. It’s super good right now-right? 2. It’s the one thing Row will eat. That being said it keeps spoiling and I hate having to eat watermelon day after day. So bananas. The are spoiling so fast and I’m always throwing them out. Last week I froze them. Introduce banana bread.

Let me first say I don’t like banana bread. I avoid it. Hubs doesn’t either but I thought let’s give it a go-what’s the worst that could happen?

I scoured the internet reading tons of banana bread recipes. I changed and tweaked and subtracted and added and the result? We-the banana bread haters-ate the whole thing. Of course Row didn’t because apparently a baked good with fruit in it didn’t seem right to her. So here it is…….

The Best Banana Bread Recipe-you’re welcome!

Ingredients:

3-4 very ripe medium bananas-mashed

2 eggs

1/3 cup melted butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 tablespoon vanilla

walnuts as desired-none for me. I can’t handle nuts in baked goods.

Preheat oven to 325. Spray your loaf baking dish with nonstick spray-I like the butter kind for baked goods. In a medium bowl combine the mashes bananas, eggs, butter, sugar, and vanilla. I loved having the bananas frozen! Then I had them thaw for a couple minutes because they pretty much came out mushy. Mix thoroughly-and I mean thoroughly because if you don’t you’ll have big banana blobs in the baked loaf which look unappealing-believe me. Then add the dry ingredients. Flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly-important again because the salt needs to be dispersed. Add walnuts if desired.
