Mama Kelland's Banana Bread

   Yesterday at breakfast there were some very ripe bananas at the cafeteria. I did not want this opportunity to pass, so two of my friends and I each grabbed up a banana each and headed on our way to classes. The reason for doing this? I was in the mood to make Banana Bread this weekend!
   This morning Candace and I drove to Walmart to pick up a couple of ingredients to use. As soon as I got back to my dorm I grabbed up the rest of the ingredients and dishes from my room and headed down to the kitchen.

Mama Kelland's Banana Bread

• 2C Flour
• 1tsp Baking Soda
• pinch of salt
• 3/4C Sugar (brown or white)
• 1/2C butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/2T Vanilla
• 3 very ripe bananas
• 2 tsp cinnamon (opt)

In a large bowl combine the first four ingredients (if you are using cinnamon add to this mixture). The butter needs to be slightly melted. I usually pop it in the microwave in a separate bowl for a few seconds, stir, then a few more seconds. In a third bowl whisk the eggs, add the vanilla and then mash the bananas. Add the banana mix to the butter and stir. Next add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Once you've mixed it all together pour it into a lightly greased 9x5x3 inch bread pan. Sprinkle cinnamon on top if your heart desires. Put this in a preheated oven at 350 F for 60 to 65 minutes. ENJOY!!!
*If the mixture is too dry just add a little bit of water until it has more of a batter consistency.

 

  YUM! I LOVE making banana bread! I wish I could make it all the time! Each time I make it it always turns out different. This time the difference was: I added a little too much baking soda and it was extra moist!
