Banana Bread

If you have a copy of the 2003 edition of the Hogley Cookbook, you may have noticed that page 10 and page 13 have the exact same recipe. One of these pages was supposed to be this recipe for Banana Bread, and now you can see what you've been missing!

This recipe originally came to us from Ms. Segreti, a friend of Joy's mother-in-law, via a copy of their church cookbook. It's incredibly easy and really delicious!

Banana Bread

2 overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 butter, melted
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 325°.

Grease and flour a regular-sized loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, mash the bananas to a pulp. Mix in the sugar and then the egg. Drizzle in the butter and stir until well combined. (You'll still have lumps of banana.)

Stir in the flour, salt, baking soda and walnuts, and then pour into the pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 1 hour, or until completely set in the middle. (Stick in a toothpick or a strand of spaghetti to make sure only crumbs come out.)
