Banana Banana Bread Adapted from Pam

Adapted from Pam's recipe at For the Love of Cooking.net

I love to  bake. Today, I had three ripe bananas to use up and searched for some banana recipes on Pinterest. I found this banana banana bread and decided to give it a try.   It has great banana flavor and I added Walnuts to the top of the loaf before baking.  I made a tiny loaf for myself (I am allergic to walnuts BOO!)

 

Banana Banana Bread:

Adapted recipe by Pam @ fortheloveofcooking.net

• 1/2 cup of butter, softened (1 stick)
• 3/4 cup of brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/3 cups of mashed overripe bananas (I used 3-4)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 tsp baking powder (soda tasted too salty!!!)
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees then coat a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy.
Add the eggs, bananas, and vanilla then continue beating until combined. 
You can do this step in a separate bowl - combining flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and fresh nutmeg together, mix well. Then, if you didn't already put in the same bowl, do so now and blend.  Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add walnuts to top and gently press to put under the batter.  Bake for 50 minutes (test at 40-45 with toothpick test).

Delicious! I like to add a bit of butter or homemade cream cheese icing.
Great for an out-the-door breakfast. 
A family favorite, here, even for the pickiest eater.
