THREE BROTHERS BANANA BREAD

(Actually should be Two Brothers because one of 'em doesn't like it. But he doesn't like anything.)

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

DIRECTIONSPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar.
Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. S
tir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. ****
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.


**** Or, if you are like me, and you have one of those ridiculously expensive bot oh-so-worth-it stand mixers, just dump everything in the bowl and hit the switch! Worth the $300 just to not have to go through all those steps.
