2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 medium overripe bananas, mashed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×5 in loaf pan.
In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl cream together the butter and brown sugar add the eggs, vanilla, bananas until well blended. Combine the flour mixture with the banana mixture and stir just to moisten. Pour into the pan prepared.
Bake in preheated oven for 50-65 min, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 5 min then remove to a wire rack.
Note: this recipe easily doubles so make two and freeze one for later.
This is delicious! And the tips on storing bananas are very helpful. Would you have any suggestions for using this recipe for muffins?
So glad you enjoy it! Yes, it should work just fine in muffins you may just need to alter the bake time as they are smaller. Most Muffins will cook in 12-18 min so start low and check as needed. However, remember the more you open the oven the longer they will take to bake. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
