Going Banana's

Last night I tried my hand at baking. Yeah how exciting huh? Baking by myself on a Friday night, ha! So we had about 5 banana’s that were about to spoil and I couldn’t eat all that in one day. So I started browsing the Internet to do something about it … Banana Bread!

So I turned on the radio and started to gather my ingredients, while dancing to whatever was playing on the radio. Sorry if the pictures are taking long to load, they were from my camera and I didn’t turn down the resolution of the pictures.



Ingredients:

Brown Sugar
Salt
Butter
All-Purpose Flour
Eggs
Overripe Banana’s

I didn’t have a mixer which made it more difficult when I had to creme the butter and brown sugar together. Let’s just say it gave me a good arm workout when mixing those ingredients. You can see I made a little mess while mixing, haha. It was all good though.



This was after I mixed all the ingredients together, the batter color looks nice and creamy after mixing it by hand for goodness knows how long, haha. After the batter was mixed it was ready to be poured into a 9×5 loaf pan. The only thing was my Mom only had the small aluminum kind. Which meant instead of one large loaf, it would be two mini ones.

Right before going into the oven, I was afraid of the batter overfilling.



Halfway baking … eh … it looks decent, at least it didn’t overfill. They remind me of large muffin tops instead of bread.



Voila, the final product! Color looks decent and it smelled really good right out of the oven. Sorry if the picture is a bit blurry, my hands were shaking. But it looks nice.

Congratulation on beautiful banana bread. We call it "Nana bread" because my Italian Godmother, whom we called Nana, made it. That and Zucchini Bread. Yum!

Every guy should know how to bake basic stuff, like banana bread, whole wheat bread, brownies, and a couple of other basic meals, like stews or chowders, a couple of pasta dishes, a fruit salad and a veggie salad. Of course, how to grill steak and chops, or broil them in an oven. You will be going far in life with those skills. No, macaroni and cheese from a box doesn't count as a meal.
Hugs, Stephy

Walnuts are very, very good in banana bread! Yummy! I had a pet squirrel, Bobby who absolutely loved banana bread or cake and would do his fox squirrel chatter if we kept him from munching his fill!

Nice looking product! I don't prefer bananas, but this looks good anyway!

There is a blogging rule you may not know of (especially since i just made it up!!) and that is is you give a recipe and bake an item you must send us all a piece--just send mine on the next plane from Wisconsin!!!
