Banana Bread

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • splash of orange juice or a spoonful of frozen concentrate
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed up with a fork

Instructions

  • Mix together the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, orange juice, and mashed bananas. Blend well, about 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.
  • Scrape into a greased loaf (9×5″) pan and spread out so it’s somewhat smooth. The batter will be somewhat stiff.
  • Bake at 350 for an hour. Use a toothpick or a knife to poke into the middle and make sure it comes up clean. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove from the baking pan and cool on a wire rack.
