St. John's Banana Bread




Source of Recipe


From Agatha's Kitchen


Recipe Introduction


This is great for breakfast. It is not overly sweet and the texture is more like that of a cake than bread. It is moist and the flavor is not overly "banana-ish".


List of Ingredients




1/2 c butter, softened to room temperature
1 c sugar
2 eggs
2 c sifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 large bananas, smashed
1 c chopped nuts, opt.

Topping:
1 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Recipe



Preheat to 350.
Cream butter and sugar.
Beat eggs in one at a time.
Sift flour, baking soda and salt into egg mixture and mix.
Add mashed bananas and nuts, if desired. Mix.
Pour into greased 9 x 13 pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes* (see notes).

Topping:
Mix cinnamon and sugar.
While cake is warm, pour melted butter over the top.
Then sprinkle on cinnamon sugar mixture.

NOTES:
I used large eggs, unsalted butter, 4 small bananas and omitted the nuts.
I will reduce baking time to 40 - 45 minutes as it was a bit over baked at 50 minutes.
