Banana Bread

 This always turns out moist and delicious! It never lasts long in our house!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Butter, Softened
• 1 cup Sugar
• 3 Ripe Bananas, mashed
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 1/4 cups Flour

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350℉
2. Cream together butter and sugar. 
3. Add beaten eggs and mashed bananas, mix well. 
4. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add slowly to the wet ingredients until combined. 
5. Pour into a greased and lightly floured loaf pan.
6. Bake for 45-55 minutes.
7. Let cool and Enjoy! I like to cut a slice out while it is still warm and spread some butter on it. 

Tips/ Variations:

• Make banana bread muffins instead! Grease and flour a muffin tin and bake for about 20 minutes. Do not use muffin liners, it will stick. 
• Keep in an air tight container on the counter for 4-5 days.
