Banana Bread: Feed Your Inner Monkey

Banana bread, I love this recipe- it’s so filling and tasty and nourishes your belly leaving you to feel just right. Perhaps some of you will even feel your inner monkey sneaking out on ya- be careful. The prep is quick and easy but it does take a while to bake- so make sure you leave yourself enough time.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 Cups Suga’ Suga’

1/2 Cup Butter Softened

2 Eggs

2-3 Bananas Mashed

1/2 Cup Buttermilk

1 Tsp. Vanilla

2 1/2 Cups Flour

1 Tsp. Baking Soda

1 Tsp. Salt

1 Cup Chopped Nuts (Optional)

* If you want to know a little secret, I’ll share- when I first went to make this recipe I did not have any buttermilk in the house. So I googled “substitutes for buttermilk”. Here’s what google came up with... Combine 1 Cup of milk with 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice- stir and let stand for 2 minutes. Come to find out it worked like a charm... Just thought you should know in case you don't have buttermilk on hand either. 

Step 1: Preheat Oven to 350 degrees and move oven rack so that it is positioned in the center.

Step 2: Grease the bottom of (1) 9x5x3 bread pan.

Step 3: In a large bowl mix the suga’ and butter together. Then stir in the eggs until the ingredients are well blended.

 Step 4: Add the bananas, buttermilk and vanilla- beat until smooth.

Step 5: Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt until moistened- if you decide to add nuts now is the time.

Step 6: Pour the batter into the bread pan and pop it in the oven for about 1 hour- to be sure it is cooked all the way through insert a knife and if it comes out clean your bread is complete. 

YuuMMM...

I don't even need banana bread to make me feel like a monkey

It just comes natural-_-

Told Ya!!!

Enjoy your weekend & some banana bread,
