Banana Bread

I've been craving some good homemade banana bread and decided that with the snow and cold weather today was definitely a good day to bake some. I took photos but don't have a way to upload them at the moment, so I'll just have to post them later. Thanks to I am baker for the recipe - it turned out great!

Here's her recipe:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups mashed overripe bananas

1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional:
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for mini loafs)
1/4 to 1/2 cup heath chips (for mini loafs)


Directions:
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs,mashed bananas, and vanilla until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake at 350 in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes for mini loafs (60-65 for regular size pan), until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then place on a wire rack.

Enjoy!
