. Banana Bread Oven at 350 deg / grease a 9x5 pan (the picture is not in a 9x5, so that is why it spilled over..now gotta clean the oven! You need: all purpose flour; baking powder; salt; baking soda; 1 stick butter; 3 eggs; salt;sugar (either brown and/or granulated);cinnamon;nutmeg;cloves (or ginger,allspice); chopped nuts; about 5 bananas total.. Combine: 2 1/3 c. all purpose flour / Gluten Free 3 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt In a large bowl, cream: 1 stick butter.. softened with 1 c. sugar... then add 3 eggs. Mix well. Mash 3 large bananas (ripe).. add to the butter mix. Add: 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg (ground) 1/4 tsp. ground cloves (if you don't have all these, ginger and allspice can be used as a sub) Add: flour mixture.. little at a time. Mix well. Fold in 1/2cup chopped nuts (toasting them first, gives a really nice flavor) Pour mixture in 9 x 5 loaf pan. Now......... this is from Brandon [on the other side] --- make a mixture of brown sugar and/or granulated sugar and a lot of ground cinnamon. Slice more bananas and cover the entire top of the loaf. Sprinkle liberally with the cinnamon/sugar mix. Bake at 350 deg.... check at 45 min. When tester comes out clean, remove from oven (my loaf took almost a full hour). Cool in pan for 10 min., turn out on a rack to finish cooling (put wax paper beneath the rack) Enjoy! © All rights reserved
