Banana Bread…

So, it is almost mid-January,  the temperatures are hitting new lows -  it was – 22 when I woke up this morning- and I am still hunting for my first PR gig. But despite the weather and lack of a job, there is one thing that always brightens my day – banana bread!

It is my favorite thing to bake. The receipt I use I think I got from my mom, where she had it scribbles on a piece of paper in a cookbook, but I cannot acuratly remember if that is this reciept or not. This receipt is not very figure friendly, which may explain why I have never come across a similar version, but it is better then any banana bread I have purchased (Seriously, I love Starbucks but its banana bread is just plan gross!)

This receipt is one of those things you can really customize to meet your needs. For example, I love mine with chocolate chips and walnuts. But the reciept is equally as delisious plain. Or you could even sprinkle a few chocolate chip on top, if you don’t want to comitte to making a whole chocolate chip banana bread. For extra presentation point you could even melt some chocolate chips and drizzle the chocolate on top!

Here is the recepit:

- 1 cup mashed bananas (this is about 2 or 3 bananas)

-1 cup mayo (any kind will do I usually use merical whip, but you could even use a vegan mayo if you choose)

- 3/4 cup of sugar

- 2 cups flour

- 2 tsp baking soda

- 1/2 tsp salt

Beat bananas, and then beat in sugar and mayo. Add remaining ingrediants and bake at 350 f. Back about 1 hour for a loaf and 20 munutes for muffins.

It’s simple. It’s delious. It’s the prefect way to use up those old banana.

Happy baking!
