Banana Bread

Banana bread is easy to make and has many variations. Banana bread is a recipe that you can involve children in making. They can peel and mash the bananas. Because the majority of the ingredients in banana bread are soft the mixing can easily be done by hand, so you do not have to worry about small hands getting into the mixer. The clean up after making a batch of banana bread is easy also because most of the recipes are one bowl mixtures.
One of the tastiest ways of doing a variation on banana bread is to add chocolate chips into the batter right before you pour it into the pans. The taste of chocolate blends well and they hold their shape in the banana bread. Many people add chopped walnuts to their banana bread, but you should do this only if you are certain that all of your guests are free from nut allergies. If you are really pressed for time you can make banana bread in a bread machine. Just add the ingredients in the order listed. Most bread machines come with recipes for quick breads. For something different you can place the banana bread mixture into muffin tins and make banana muffins.

Often times you can purchase over ripe bananas for a fraction of the cost. You can buy several bunches and freeze them. They are very easy to freeze simply peel and mash the amount you need for the recipe you are using and freeze in an air tight container or plastic bag. Then the next time you are going to make banana bread simply place the thawed bananas in it. Prepared banana bread also freezes very well. When you are making a loaf make a few extras and wrap them well and freeze. Banana bread also makes a nice hostess gift to take along when invited to someone else’s home.
