  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 Tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions:

Prepare Pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour 9×5 inch bread pan and set aside.

In a large bowl with a spatula mix together 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 Tablespoons whole milk, 1/3 cup unsalted butter, 2 large eggs and 2 or 3 ripe bananas until well incorporated.

Serve

Cut bread with a sharp serrated bread knife and serve warm with butter (if desired) and enjoy! To make fancy little round butter balls use a melon baller like this.

Store

After bread has cooled completely store in a sealed container for up to 4-5 days at room temperature. If kept in the refrigerator the bread may last even longer; if it’s not eaten by then.
