Banana Nut Bread

So I was thinking of some bread that correlates to the fall season and then I remembered my mom always makes Banana Nut Bread during this season. So this time I wanted to make it by myself and see what I could whip up!

First of all need ingredients! I will be using all these...

• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 cups brown sugar
• Pinch of nutmeg
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder
• 1/2 cup butter-melted/softened
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 3 mashed bananas
• 1/2 cup walnuts

First, put the flour, nutmeg, cinnamon powder,baking soda, and of course you can't forget that pinch of salt and make that into a hodgepodge(my word for a mixture). Then set that to the side cause we will need that laterrrr.

Now lets get to work people! So grab that squishy butter... obviously the bowl of it and pour it in the larger mixing bowl, then add all that lovely brown sugar in.

Get mixing and your final result should look something like this.

Now about the banana's.... well mash them up(I use a grater) and make it look somewhat recognizable that its still a banana hahaha...ha.

Pour the banana mush mush into the brown sugar and butter mixture and mix well(not too much though).

Get those eggs cracking and poured into the banana hodgepodge.

 Mix those eggs well into the banana mixture this will take a minute and a half at the most.

Ok, remember the flour mixture that's sitting there all lonely on the side... well grab that and pour it into the banana mixture and mix mix mix it up. This is the time to add walnuts if you want too... I didn't because I for one can't stand them in my bread.

Once your done mixing the dough, grease that 8x4 pan of yours thoroughly and pour the dough into it. Stick it in the preheated oven and wait for at least 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be patient you can handle that delightful smell of this banana goodness.

Well you handled that scrumptious smell and now you can taste it. Go ahead dig in you deserve it after all that work and patience.
