I took the night off last night to play some guitar, get some chores done, and cook some food. The night was a success.
Especially tasty was a quick banana bread that I whipped up. I had no idea Banana bread was so easy! Throw your ingredients into a mixer and then Bang. Bread. Outside of the one hour bake time, it’s really quick. This particular banana bread had flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, two eggs, a stick of butter, two mashed bananas, and a 1/4 cup of orange juice. The orange juice caught me a little off guard, but it added a really nice flavor.
The recipe called for nuts too, but I have mixed feelings about nuts in bread. To me, adding nuts to bread kind of seems immoral.
That last paragraph is so right.
Y’know what secret ingredient I add to my banana bread? Chocolate chips.
I love nuts in bread! But I will not eat banana bread, cooked or mashed bananas, it’s a flavor I can’t stand.
You should try zucchini bread next. It’s also easy to mix up and delicous. I have my Mom’s recipe somewhere. I’ll email it when I find it.
Anything with a stick of butter in it is delicious.
