Banana Bread


One of the perks of being back in New York is that I have access to an oven that actually has temperature control! This means I can start baking again and trying to recreate some of the delicious baked goods I've met on my journeys. For my first baking adventure back at home I went with an easy and familiar classic that is satisfying for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert.

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/3 cups mashed bananas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the inside of a 9x15in baking pan. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt together. In a separate large bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter together. Add 2 eggs to the butter and brown sugar. Add mashed bananas to the wet mix. Slowly fold the wet mix into the dry mix until the consistency is uniform throughout. Pour into greased baking pan. Bake in oven for about 65-70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!
