Banana Bread Recipe

Here is our favorite banana bread recipe:

Banana Bread (Recipe by Eva Lynn Marshall Ewing, my great grandmother)

Cream together: 1 c. sugar
                           1/2 c. butter

Add: 1 egg and beat.

Add 1 c. mashed banana (the riper the better) and beat.

Add: 1 3/4 c. flour
         1/2 t. soda
         1/2 t. b. powder
         1/2 t. salt
         1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Pour into greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 375 degrees 40-45 minutes or until toothpick in center comes out clean. Use a knife to loosen edges from pan. Remove from pan to cool.

Note: This recipe makes one loaf, but I always double the recipe and freeze one loaf. Also delicious with mini chocolate chips.
