Banana Bread

Bananas are a cheap form of nutrition and my little boy just loves them. I wanted to make him a treat that wasn't totally horrible for him and had some nutritional value. This fit the bill too because it does not have any nuts in the recipe. It was his dessert tonight and he loved it!!

1 cup granulated sugar

1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature

2 large eggs

3 ripe bananas

1 Tbsp. milk

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9x5x3 loaf pan. (I sprayed with cooking spray)

Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the milk and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan, invert onto rack and cool completely before slicing.
