The Ultimate Comfort Food | Banana Bread
Let me preface this for you...it was 63 and sunny in Chicago yesterday; today, I am looking out my window and it's snowing. Welcome to the midwest!
To me, banana bread is one of the most comforting foods. There is nothing like warm, fresh bread - with a tab of butter because, duh - and a cozy blanket on days like today. So, I thought I would share how I made this delicious (not-so-nutritious) treat!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Add the following ingredients into a bowl: 1) 1/2c butter 2) 3/4c brown sugar 3) 2 eggs 4) 2 very ripe bananas
3. Mix ingredients until creamy
4. In a separate bowl, add the following ingredients: 1) 2c flour 2) 1tsp baking soda 3) 1/4tsp salt
** For added yumminess add 1/8tsp ground cloves, 1/4tsp ground nutmeg & 1tsp cinnamon **
5. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet mixture - combine until smooth
6. Place batter in greased 9x5 tin and bake for 60-65 minutes
**You can also use a greased muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes**
This banana bread is so freaking good! It is not too sweet, not overpoweringly banana flavored and just enough to satisfy that need for rainy-day (or snowy-day in my case) comfort food.
