Prep

• 1 Glass or Metal Loaf Pan (Oiled with Crisco)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Grease the Pan!
   • If you’re southern like me, you may have Crisco in the pantry, and that’s what I use.
   • But if you have PAM or something similar, use that and spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Or merely grease with butter and set aside.
3. Gather the wet ingredients above.
   • Melt the butter first.  Let it sit out, or melt it in the microwave.
   • Mash the bananas until smooth.
   • Add the eggs one at a time and beat into the mix.
   • Add vanilla.
   • Done.
4. Gather the dry ingredients.
   • I recommend sifting those cups of flour to eliminate flour clumps and to lighten the mix.
   • Sift in the baking soda as well.
   • Add the cinnamon, salt, and sugar and mix well.
   • Done.
5. Now to combine!
   • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together with a spatula just until combined.
6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-60 minutes, until a toothpick (or butter knife) inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
   • Note: This varies by oven and dish used.  After the 60 minute mark, check every 5 minutes if the stick/knife comes out clean.  You don’t want to burn the bread.
