Easy Banana Bread
I believe this recipe came from my friend Jadi. This is the tastiest. moistest banana bread recipe I have found. The flavor is best if you can let it sit overnight, but ours rarely lasts that long.
2 c flour
1 tsp b soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c butter
3/4 c packed brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 c bananas (approx. 5-6)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a bread loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. (I usually check in a couple of places as there are occasionally doughy places in the middle.) Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely then wrap in foil. Let the bread sit for a day for the best flavor.
