This has got to be my favorite banana bread. The key is the frozen bananas. Ingredients:
5 bananas (ripe, and previously frozen) |
1 3/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Defrost bananas in microwave and reserve all the liquid. Reduce just the liquid to about 1/4 cup and add this to bananas and mash.
2. Add the banana mash to wet ingredients in the med bowl.
3. Add dry ingredients to wet and add 1/2 cup of toasted chopped nuts.
4. Pour in a greased pan and top batter with an addtional thinly sliced banana if desired(it does look really good with the bananas on top!) Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar to carmelize the sliced bananas as it cooks. Bake at 350 for 1 hour -rotate pan half way. Cool for 15 minutes in pan before removing.
