Here is an easy way to use up the bananas on the

countertop, or brown ones thrown in the back of the
freezer. Don’t overmix the ingredients, and make
sure the bananas are very ripe. —Julia Moskin

PREPARATION

Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-
5-inch loaf pan. Using electric mixer, cream butter
until smooth and fluffy. Add sugar and cream
together 2 minutes more. One at a time, mix in
eggs. Mix in bananas until only small lumps
remain.

Step 2
Stir dry ingredients together and mix into banana
mixture just until combined. Pour into prepared
pan. If making topping, stir ingredients together
and sprinkle over batter.

Step 3
Bake about 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick
inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool in
pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack and
let cool completely before wrapping tightly for
storage.

My new go to recipe. Add a teaspoon of
vanilla, reduce brown sugar to half cup, and
swap out half of white flour for whole wheat.
Yum.
