Yucky Bananas??

Ok, so by now you may know that I HATE wasting food. When your bananas get too mushy and too gross to eat raw, do the next best thing...make banana bread. YES!!

Banana Bread:
1 cup sugar
3 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
8 oz. chopped walnuts (if you like)
2 eggs
2 tsps. vanilla extract
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup softened butter

Combine the dry ingredients first in a medium mixing bowl. Add the softened butter and use a mixer to combine. Add the rest of the ingredients and continue to mix. Fold in nuts. Spray a 9x5 pan and preheat oven to 350. Pour mixture into greased pan and bake for 1 hour. When time is up, insert a knife in the middle, when it comes out clean, banana bread is done. Let it rest and slice to serve. This always smells so good in the kitchen!! Enjoy!
