~Easy banana bread and a productive morning~

This day is going well...last night I did finish my to do list after the littl kids were in bed so the house feels fresh and today I left the computer OFF until I cleaned up, baked banana bread and had a friend come by for tea,a nd picked up Austin from kindergarten. So now it's break time while the littles watch cartoons!!

Here is the banana bread recipe I love. It makes 2 loaves and is a great way to use up overripe bananas which I had plenty of today!

(the pic below is an older one of my daughters helping! Since then her hair grew down to her waist!!! She still bakes to this day! Love my enthusiastic helpers:)

I used a different recipe before but the center would stay gooey. Not to mention that it only made one loaf which is not a whole lot for my brood:):) Doubling recipes doesn't work for every recipe out there especially not for one that isn't so good to begin with. The below recipe has been sitting in my cookbook for ages. It was off the net someplace. I never did find that blog again. Anyhow the author said she doubled and even tripled it. So I looked it over and changed it just a touch to goo-proof it and here it is! Yum.

Easy banana bread:

Ingredients:

• 6 overripe, mashed bananas
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup oil
• pinch of salt
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3 1/2 cups flour

Method:

Divide mixture and spread evenly into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake covered with tin foil at 350F for about 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and finish baking. Bake until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the loaf. Cool on wire rack and slice to desired thickness.

Enjoy!!
