Brenda's Banana Bread

This is very easy. Who doesn't love banana bread? The original recipe called for three bananas and that works, but four is better. I don't mash the bananas too much because I like little chunks of banana in my bread. My husband has been eating a lot of bananas lately. When they get too ripe to eat, he peels them and puts them in freezer bags. If you use them after being frozen, don't pour out the liquid. I did that once and the bread ended up kinda dry.

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
4 bananas, mashed
1 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Cream butter and sugar. Stir in eggs and banana.
3. Sift in dry ingredients and stir only enough to combine.
4. Pour in large greased and floured loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.
