Photo: Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan.
Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the milk and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan, invert onto rack and cool completely before slicing.
Spread slices with honey or serve with ice cream

This recipe was a great base for what I made. Mixed 1 stick butter, 1C sugar, 2 eggs, and 2Tbsp. sour cream. Only had 2 bananas, and put in 1.5 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 tsp. ginger, 1 tsp. nutmeg, 1/3 cup heavy cream and set aside in separate bowl. Then in third bowl did the dry ingredients; 2C self-rising flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. salt. Mixed the wet bowl into the sugary bowl very well. Folded the dry ingredients into the wet gently, then chopped 1/2 cup walnuts to fold in gently after. Poured into pan, topped with sprinkle of more chopped walnuts and baked for 1 hour at 330. Perfection!

Great recipe, simple and easy to prepare. I substituted the milk with almond milk and added a cup of walnuts. It took a little longer to bake (about an hour and 25 mins but tasted great. My whole family enjoyed it.
