Banana Bread

1 cup stick butter
6 large ripe bananas
4 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups flour
2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt (if using buttered salt, eliminate this ingredient.
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Grease bread tins.  (I bought the cheap aluminum pans from Walmart that come in a pack of 3.  The size is 8 in L x 3.88 in W x 2.47 in H.  This recipe is perfect fit for making 3 of these medium sized loafs.)

Melt butter.  Add bananas to the same bowl and mash (I used a potato masher).  

Add the vanilla and eggs to the bowl and continue to mash until eggs are mixed in well.

In a second large bowl, combine dry ingredients together.  Whisk to mix.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together with a spatula until combined, don't over mix.  (It looks like it is going to be too dry...but keep mixing, I don't like to use the mixer.)

Split the batter between the 3 medium sized loaf pans listed above.  

You can bake up to 6 of them in the oven at a time as long as you put space between them so you get good air flow.

Cook for around 55 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

I found this recipe when I was googling for a new banana bread recipe.  The website is listed below.

When I was googling for a banana bread recipe.  I literally got a whole box of bananas from my neighbor.  I liked that this recipe used so many bananas for each 'loaf'.  

Note:  The recipe above is actually doubled from the original recipe...doubling made the perfect amount for the pans I bought.  :D

Note: I accidentally misread the butter amount for this...and so I was using half the butter...but it tastes great!  So, I listed the amount of butter that I used.  If you want to follow her recipe exactly, you will have to double the butter I listed above.

I froze a lot of banana bread!  Can't wait to pull some out of the freezer!
