Ingredients
2.5 cups all-purpose flour1.5 teaspoons baking soda1/4 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon nutmeg1/4 teaspoon salt3 large ripe bananas, peeled2 large eggs3/4 cup sugar1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 8.5 x 4.5 by 2 5/8 -inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray.

In large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Move mixture to sides of bowl, making a dry "well" in the center.

Mash bananas in medium-sized bowl. Add eggs, sugar and butter and beat until fairly smooth.
Pour banana mixture into the well in dry ingredients and stir just until blended.

Divide batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, until browned and tops spring back lightly when gently pressed. Remove to wire rack to cool.

Makes 2 loaves (28 servings total)

*Recently revised the servings from 20 to 28. I counted the servings once I baked the loaves and 28 seems more realistic. Enjoy!

    I made this today and added 1/4 cup applesauce for a bit more moisture. Came out really nice. I found the second loaf baked a little better for 35 minutes at 325 degrees. - 7/5/09

    I thought it was very good. Light and moist. I substituted half the flour for whole wheat, egg beaters and splenda. I will make this again. My only thought was that the servings were not big enough. Then again I love banana bread! Thanks. - 6/23/09
