Banana Banana Bread

ABOUT: I LIKE THIS RECIPE BECAUSE IT USES A LOT MORE BANANAS. I ORIGINALLY FOUND IT ON ALLRECIPES, BUT I'VE MADE A FEW ALTERATIONS AS NOTED. CLICK HERE FOR ORIGINAL.

ingredients:

• 4 C all-purpose flour (50% whole wheat is good)

• 2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 Tbs cinnamon (not in original)

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg (not in original)

• 1 C butter (can use melted and cooled coconut oil)

• 1.5 C brown sugar (could replace with honey)

• 4 large eggs - room temp

• 2 tsp vanilla (not in original)

• ~4.5 C mashed bananas

Topping: (not in original)

• 2 Tbs brown sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 and prep muffin tins or loaf pans

2. Measure all dry ingredients into a bowl and whisk.

   • 4 C flour, 2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 Tbs cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg

3. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar:

   • 1 C butter (or oil), 1.5 C Brown sugar (or honey)

4. Add:

   • 4 large eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, 4.5 C mashed bananas

5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir together. Do not over-mix, just stir until everything is incorporated into the batter.

6. Scoop into the muffin tins. Each well should be nearly full to get a bigger, puffier dome on top. Or into loaf pans.

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes for muffins or about 45-60 minutes for a loaf until it passes the toothpick test.

MAKES: 24-36 muffins, depending on size.
