Baking :: Banana Bread

I love banana bread.  There is something about it that seems so simple and easy.  It reminds me of my childhood.  And it may as well be healthy, since it is filled with fruit, right?  

I recently dug up an old recipe and went to town.  Literally.  I have made a fresh loaf of banana bread every week for the last month.  It's that good.   And that easy. 



Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar                         2 eggs

1 teaspoon baking soda                1/2 cup softened (or melted) butter
2 cups all-purpose flour                1 + 1/2 cups mashed (or thinly sliced) bananas




Recipe:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).  Grease (I use butter) and flour one 9x5 inch pan.
  
• Cream butter and sugar until smooth.  Beat in eggs, then bananas. 
  Add flour and baking soda, stirring just until combined.
  
• Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 1 hour (or until knife cuts through it cleanly).  Remove from pan and let cool.  Can be stored in refrigerator or frozen.

Try it ... and let me know what you think.
