Good Eats and Yummy Treats: Banana Bread

My little man loves bananas so we almost always have a bunch hanging around.  That said, there are still times where some get a little too ripe to eat.  When that happens, I turn them into banana bread!  We had a couple that were too far gone but not bad (like rotten bad), so I made some last week.  It was so yummy!

Banana Bread

2 ½ c. flour

1 c. sugar

3 ½ tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

3 tbsp. vegetable oil

¾ c. milk

1 egg

1 c. mashed bananas

1 c. finely chopped nuts (optional)

Heat over to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour loaf pan (1 9x5x3 or 2 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½ pans) or use a non-stick loaf pan.  Measure all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl.  Beat on medium speed ½ minute, scrapping bowl constantly.  Pour into pan or pans.  Bake 55-65 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center.  Cool in pan 10 minutes, remove and cool completely before slicing.
