Banana Bread

Buy too many bananas? If they start going bad, throw them into the freezer until you are ready to make this recipe.

• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (I make ½ teaspoon)
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ cup mashed bananas (3 med to large)
• ¾ cup sugar
• ¼ cup cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel ( I make it 1 ½ tsp)

Grease loaf pan and set oven to 350. Mix flour, baking powder, banking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Mix egg, bananas, sugar, oil, and lemon peel. Add to dry mixture. Stir until all ingredients are mixed but batter is still lumpy. Pour into pan and bake for 50-55 minutes.

If you need to speed up the process – make muffins and only cook for about 25 minutes – insert a toothpick to ensure doneness.
