Banana Bread

My mom used to make banana bread for us when we were younger and I just loved it!  Then my mom told me to try a recipe from Lois (a special lady I used to work with).  This is not a new recipe (I've made it for the past 3 years or so) but it's one of my FAVORITE things to make!!  

2 sticks butter, melted

2 c. flour

2 c. white sugar

6-7 ripe (or over ripe) bananas

2 tea. baking soda

2 tea. baking powder

2 eggs

1/2 tea salt

1 c. nuts (optional)

As you can see, it's almost a recipe of 2's.  Pretty easy to remember. Preheat the oven to 350 and I spray my loaf pans with a little cooking spray.  This makes 2 loaf pans so you can half it if you only want to make one loaf.  Mix everything together with a mixer.  Bake for 50-60 min or until the middle is fully cooked (until the toothpick comes clean). Jeff and I can go through a whole loaf in 2 days.  YUMMY!
