Forget Fabreeze, throw away the air fresheners and incense, NOTHING makes a house smell better than fresh baked banana bread. All modesty aside, I make the yummiest banana bread around. Inspired by some great banana bread my girlfriend Karma had for us a few weeks back, I decided to crack out my Grandma’s old recipe book and with a few small modifications, I have a recipe the whole family loves (including James, who despite being a human garberator absolutely hates banana bread, but loves this one). So here you go, hope you try it!
Banana Loaf:
- 1/4 cup margerine
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (original recipe calls for nuts…but since thats a no go, we do chocolate instead!)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 ripe bananas
- pinch salt
Cream margerine and sugar: combine remaining ingredients. Place into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 350 F for 45-60 minutes.
I like to also sprinkle a bit of the sugar and cinnamon onto the top of the loaf, when it bakes it becomes this beautiful crunchy top to the loaf. Forget bread, as James says, this is more like banana cake. Yum!
