Ingredients

    4 tablespoons butter, softened
    2 eggs
    2 -3 bananas, very ripe
    2/3 cup sugar
    1 1/3 cups flour
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
    1 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Tips

I used slivered almonds in my loaf and sprinkled some extra on top of the loaf. I think this would come out well with dried apricots (chopped).


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine butter, eggs, sugar, and bananas in bowl. (Bananas should be finely mashed).
3. Combine dry ingredients in another bowl.
4. gently stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
5. Add optional ingredients (chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips), stir in 1/2 to 1 cup.
6. Pour dough into a greased 9x5" loaf pan.
7. Bake at 350F for 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
8. Let bread cool in pan for 5-10 minutes before turning out.
9. Serve 1" slices - awesome toasted with butter on it!
