CAROLS BANANA BREAD
I hope everyone isn’t tired of cooking posts. I promise to get back to other things–and, my cooking partner just went back to school. The cooking posts will definitely slow down, but we still plan on keeping busy in the kitchen. Carol even made the most delicious soup in the slow cooker before she went to school this morning! Here is Carol’s banana bread recipe–it’s very easy, and always turns out perfectly. Taken from Williams Sonoma kids baking.
BANANA BREAD
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
3 medium, very ripe bananas
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
*We added 1/2 cup of broken walnuts
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Grease a loaf pan with butter
In a medium sized bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
In a large sized bowl, mash the peeled bananas with a fork. Add the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until well blended. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture. Stir just until blended.
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a wooden spoon. Put the pan in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven, and let cool 20 minutes. Gently run a table knife along the sides of the loaf pan, and turn finished loaf out.
Enjoy!

This is very similar to the recipe that I use, which is from a Disney Recipe book! Please keep doing food posts – I love all the vegetarian ones that you do!
thank you for all the cooking posts. My 12yr old twins tried the zucchini fritters and the spaghetti with broccoli. They were such a hit they made it for dinner two nights in a row. The best part is the veggie hating twin said “Zucchini fritters are now my #3 favorite food!”
LOVE the cooking posts. Besides, you’re lucky to have such a great cook by your side.
Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic recipe, thank you so much for sharing! And it lasts quite a few days in a sealed container in the pantry.

Looks delicious! Carol should start a cooking blog smthg like “Pile of Plates”

But that doesn’t mean I have to flounder in an endless sea of anonymous faces for the next three months. It doesn’t mean that the local politics are completely beyond me or that I’m nothing but an observer.
