Banana Bread

From the Kitchen of: Summer Cronin

3 ripe bananas

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter at room temperature

2 eggs well beaten

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Mash bananas and set aside. In a large bowl cream sugar and butter together. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas. In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to first mixture and stir together. Stir in nuts. Place in 2 greased 9x5-inch loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 275 degrees and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes of until toothpick comes out clean. Makes 2 loaves.

I love this reciepe because it’s simple and very easy to divide (so you only have to make 1 loaf!)
