Queen Surf Banana Bread

This recipe is a classic one from my mom. She makes this bread with bananas that have become old and bruised.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

1 cup butter

6 ripe bananas mashed

4 eggs

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp banana or vanilla extract

Directions:

Cream sugar and butter. Add well beaten eggs, bananas, and extract. Add dry ingredients, blend, do not overmix. Pour into greased muffin pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

The result? A light and springy bread with just hard-enough edges. A fresh and clean banana flavor and texture (unlike the sticky and synthetic-tasting store-bought banana loaves).
