Banana Banana Bread

I especially prefer this banana bread because it has no nuts or other nonsense involved.
--
Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (I melted it to make it easier to mix)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Pour in banana mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 Hour 5 Minutes
Yields: 12 Servings

Thank you for referring to nuts as nonsense. I respect you already.

Mel,
I made this with Nathan this afternoon and it was a big hit at my house. I'm not a fan of nuts in my banana bread either and this was just delicious!
Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a great recipe... but we are NUTS for nuts! To us, anything is improved with the addition of nuts!! :>)
