BANANA BREAD

This is our current favorite recipe for banana bread. It makes great "cupcakes" (muffins) too!

Ingredients:

3-4 whole ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 C butter, melted

3/4 C white sugar

1/4 C Turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw)

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. baking soda

1 pinch salt

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 1/2 C flour (all-purpose or white wheat)

1 T. milled flax seed (opt.)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 4" x8" bread pan with butter and set aside. Mash bananas in large mixing bowl with wooden spoon. Add butter and stir to combine. Add sugars, egg and vanilla and mix. Fold in flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon until just combined. Pour into bread loaf pan. Bake for one hour. Cool completely before serving. (I use white wheat flour and add the flax seed...and it is really good...doesn't taste "healthy").
