There’s no way for me to top yesterday’s post so I thought I’d show you the banana bread I made last night. My bananas were about to go bad. I froze a couple for smoothies later and smashed up the others for banana bread. This yummy recipe came from Food.com. They call it Best Banana Bread but I’ve renamed it Cloud Nine Banana Bread because that’s where I was when I baked it. Plus, it’s light as a cloud.
Better name, right?
The batter tasted like banana pudding, and it was all I could do to slide it into the oven.
An hour later, I was glad I did.
John took the whole thing back with him to Dallas this morning (he has a long commute), so I wouldn’t eat it. Now I wish I had a piece with my coffee.
Here’s the easy recipe. I didn’t change any of the ingredients from the original Food.com recipe. No need! (Food.com has great recipes, y’all.)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 4 bananas, finely crushed
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Happy Monday, everyone!
