Banana Bread

I live in a country where fruits and vegetables don't last long, people are used to do shopping pretty much everyday in order to eat fresh products, unfortunately I do not have the time to do that, I usually do my groceries once a week and that tends to result in overripe fruit by midweek. (yeah, maybe I should eat more fruit and this wouldn't be a problem) 

Seeing as my little one loves cakes there is no

better way to use overripe bananas than to make the perfect banana bread: moist, tasty and quite easy! Now I don't have to worry about stuffing my little one with bananas every single day to finish them :)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter (you could add some more mashed bananas instead but a bit of butter is always better for the texture)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (you can use applesauce instead)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Lightly grease a medium loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. 
3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. 
4. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. 
5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
7. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Tip: You can add some walnuts or pecans to the mixture or even add some chocolate chips to make it even yummier!
