Banana Bread

This dish is perfect for breakfast and brunch. We love to serve fresh berries and yogurt over the top of each piece. My husband loves to pour milk over his dish of baked oatmeal! This also freezes well and keeps for a few days in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 eggs

• 3 bananas

• 2 cups flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup chopped pecans 

  Spread:

• 1 cup drained crushed pineapple

• 8 oz. softened cream cheese

Directions

• Cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time

• Mash the bananas; add and mix well

• Stir in sifted dry ingredients gradually

• When well mixed, add nuts. Pour into a well-greased loaf pan

• Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

Notes

• I use a glass loaf pan and bake about 57 minutes.

• For spread, mix pineapple and cream cheese well; spread on each slice to serve.
