Banana Bread

Notes:

How to Cook Everything.

You will need:

• 8 Tbsps (1 stick) Butter
• 1 1/2 Cups white flour
• 1/2 Cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsps baking powder
• 3/4 Cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed with a fork until smooth
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 Cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1/2 Cup grated dried unsweetened coconut

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Mix together the dry ingredients. Cream the butter and and beat the eggs and bananas. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients; do not mix more than necessary. Gently stir in the vanilla, nuts, and coconut.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until nicely browned. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread will come out fairly clean when it is done, but because of the bananas this bread will remain moister than most. Do not overcook. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. To store, wrap in waxed paper.
