I simply do like to waste money and yet I never eat all the bananas I buy. The best thing to with brown bananas is make banana bread. There is something so yummy about homemade bread and it smells so good. Here is one of my favorite banana bread recipes and I love it with the optional nuts. This served warm with butter is an absolute delight.
¾ cup sugar
½ cup margarine or butter softened
2 eggs
1 cup (2 medium) mashed bananas
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
½ cup chopped nuts, if desired
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease only the bottom of a 9×5 or 8×4 inch loaf pan.
Mix sugar and margarine, beat until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and mix well.
Add bananas, milk and vanilla and mix well.
In another bowl combine flour, nuts, baking soda and salt, mixing well.
Add to banana mixture stirring just until; dry ingredients are moist.
Pour into the greased loaf pans and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
Cool 5 minutes before removing from loaf pan.
