Banana Bread

I have a freezer full of mashed bananas so I decided to make banana bread tonight.  I love this recipe because the bread comes out moist with tons of banana flavor. I made 5 small loaves but I will give you the time for an individual loaf as well.

2 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup (1 stick) Butter softened
3/4 Cups Brown Sugar
 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs
2 1/3 Cups Mashed Super Ripe Bananas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your loaf pan. In a large bowl mix flour, baking soda and salt. In another bowl or the bowl of a mixer cream together the butter and brown sugar. When it's light and fluffy like this.

Add vanilla and one egg at a time beating well after each addition.  When that is incorporated stir in bananas, mixing well. Pour banana mixture into flour and fold until just moistened.

Spoon into prepared loaf pan(s) and bake in prepared oven. 35-45 minutes for small loaves, 50-60 minutes for a large loaf pan. Check to see if they are done by inserting a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean it is done.

Take loaves out of oven and cool on wire rack.

If you decide to make this recipe let me know what you think, I hope you enjoy!
