Banana Bread

I know all banana breads are just about created equal but I have recently discovered a delicious variation. It is darker and has more of a spice taste but still very good. Let me say it is NOT healthy but a great way to treat yourself. I found this recipe on sherbetblossom.blogspot.com.

Lovely Banana Bread

2 cups sugar
2½ cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
½ tsp baking powder
1 cup oil
3 eggs
2 cups mashed bananas
1 tsp vanilla

Simple directions: Combine dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Bake in greased bread pans (2) for 1 hour at 350°

My tips for this recipe are grease your pans VERY well (one of mine stuck) and watch the bread closely around 35 minutes into cooking because you may need to put foil over them to keep them from over browning on top. This bread can be tricky because it is darker than regular banana bread so it may be hard to tell. It took about 50 minutes in my oven and I probably should have taken it out a few minutes sooner.
