Good morning!
Today I woke up at 5am ON MY OWN! I got right to work and started making the best banana bread to start our busy day. This recipe is from my “Little Grandma” and I even entered it in the county 4H years ago having it bring me a blue or purple ribbon. I don’t remember which ribbon I earned. I do remember the fun I had that year entering a few dishes, crafts and animals in the Russell, Kansas county fair. So much fun, that while my banana bread baked, I looked up 4H camps for my own kids. The best memories.
Here is a healthy banana bread recipe that is heavy on the overripe bananas and low on the butter and eggs. I never used anything but regular flour but I have substituted the sugar for honey. It’s such a forgiving recipe. My six kids like me to add cinnamon and chocolate chips for that extra goodness! Hope you enjoy!
Little Grandma’s Banana Bread
4 mashed bananas
1 cup of sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Mix all together. We like to put a sprinkle of cinnamon and a handful of chocolate chips. Pour into a large, greased pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with butter and enjoy!
Let me know if you make it! We are off to complete a FULL day of work, projects, appointments, homeschool, errands/chores and wrap up with baseball!
