One of my favorite ways for my boys to wake is with the smell of something delicious in the air. Yes, even on busy school morning I make muffins, waffles, pancake and yummy breads. (this is not the box kind) One of our go to favorites is a recipe that my good friend Sahana gave me a few years back. (I believe it was originally a Betty Crocker recipe but I've altered it a bit) I consider it to be simple and I always have the ingredients in the house. So, today we started our morning with Banana bread. I have passed this recipe on over the years with many of you but thought I would post it here so you ALWAYS have it.
Banana Bread Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk
1 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
I start my throwing my bananas in my mixer to get them mashed up. I then throw in all the other ingredients minus the chocolate chips and nuts until everything else is blended. Then I add the chocolate and nuts. My boys prefer I leave out the nuts so I do more often than not. I throw in more chocolate to make up for the missing nuts. (Another change to the original recipe. They also prefer that I make mini loafs. I put them in the over at 325 for 40-45 mins. If I make a standard loaf I bake it for 60-75 mins.
Enjoy!
