Classic Banana Bread

A Saturday morning when you can sleep in, bake banana bread and hang out with your favorite person is pretty close to perfect. This banana bread recipe comes from my mom. It comes out perfectly almost every time. Try it- you'll see.

Classic Banana Bread

1 3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp of baking soda, baking powder and salt
5 Tb melted butter
2-3 bananas
2 eggs
Optional: Add a handful of walnuts or chocolate chips

Melt butter and mash in bananas, beat in eggs. Dump all dry ingredients in the bowl and mix. (You could sift all the dry ingredients together but I never bother with this recipe.) Pour into baking pan and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Or if baking two smaller loaves, reduce bake time to about 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
