Banana Bread recipe


OK, here's our "roll your own" banana bread recipe.  We studied about 20 online recipes and kind
a morphed them into this recipe.

Four over-ripe regular size bananas.

1/4 cup plain Greek Yogurt.

One stick salted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar.

1/4 cup coarse organic cane sugar

3 large eggs

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

OK, we knifed the bananas into small pieces, added the Greek yogurt and used a hand mixer to really blend the two together and pretty much puree the mix.

Next we creamed the butter and used the hand mixer to thoroughly blend the butter and sugar together.

Then we added the butter/sugar mix to the banana mash and used the hand mixer to blend them together.

Then we added one egg at a time to the mash and blended it thoroughly before adding the second and third eggs.

We mixed all the dry ingredients together and then added them to the wet mix.  We heeded the admonition "don't over mix."  The final product went into the loaf pan and was baked at 350 for a little more than an hour until the proverbial toothpick came our clean.
