Banana Bread

Banana Bread was the first thing that I baked as a child. I remember pouring over my mom's recipes, and this one jumped out as easy to tackle. I was only 9 years old after all!

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 2 eggs

• 4 ripe bananas, mashed

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

Cream butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Add mashed bananas and mix well. Fold in flour, soda, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are combined. Don't over mix. Place in a well-greased 9 x 3 x 2 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes.
