Banana Bread



I had several overripe bananas I needed to use, so I decided to make some banana bread.  This is the first time I've made this recipe and I chose to this recipe because it got really great reviews on Allrecipes.com, and I had all the ingredients on hand.  It's very most, delicious, and has a great banana taste. It's perfectly sweetened, and is not too sweet like some other banana bread recipes can be.  I split the recipe into two 8x4 loaf pans instead of one 9x5, and it worked out great.

Ingredients

2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups cashed, overripe bananas

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan

2.  In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.  In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar.  Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.  Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten.  Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

3.  Bake in preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loan comes out clean.  Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes.
