Recipe #42: Banana Bread

Oh banana bread. I hope for over ripe bananas in each bunch so I can put them in the fridge and save them for a banana bread feast!

I always make multiple loaves...in my recipe book i have all the conversions so I will go ahead and list them here. I have found in general that two bananas equal a cup.

	1 Loaf	2 Loaves	3 Loaves	4 Loaves	8 loaves
Margarine	½ cup	1 cup	1 ½ cups	2 cups	4 cups
Sugar	1 cup	2 cups	3 cups	4 cups	8 cups
Eggs	2	4	6	8	16
Flour	2 cups	4 cups	6 cups	8 cups	16 cups
Mashed bananas	1 cup	2 cups	3 cups	4 cups	8 cups
Boiling water	½ cup	1 cup	1 ½ cups	2 cups	4 cups
Baking soda	1 tsp	2 tsp	3 tsp	4 tsp	8 tsp

Combine margarine, sugar, and eggs
Add soda to water in small bowl.
Add flour, bananas and water alternately. I normally have each ingredient in a different bowl so it is easier to add to the main bowl.
Bake at 350 in a well greased pan.
45 minutes or until done for loaves
20-25 minutes for muffins or mini loaves
12-15 minutes for mini muffins

I used the 4 loaf measurement and made 2 loaves and 36 muffins! More food for the beach next week!

of course we will eat a loaf until then!!
