Baking on a snowed in day

After already having one day of not going outside because of the massive amounts of snow, I started getting antsy and got the urge to be productive (aka my DVR ran out of things I have recorded). Since the beginning of the year, Brandon and I have been doing our best to eat healthy and we really have done a decent job. However, there have been two bananas in our fruit basket that had gone at least a couple of weeks without being touched and were not exactly the color of something I would want to eat. I was about to throw them away until Brandon told me banana bread could be made from them. I didn't believe him until I found a recipe that called for the less the ripe bananas. The recipe seemed kind of bland so I tweaked it just a bit and the product turned out DELICIOUS! Here's what I did...

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

1 1/4 cups brown sugar

2 eggs, beaten

2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas (I used two bananas and it was perfect)

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl cream together butter, vanilla and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Pour batter into loaf pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Bake 60 - 65 minutes until toothpick or knife can be inserted and come out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Tada!
