End of the week Banana Bread

Its the end of the week, and you are out of eggs, you bought too many bananas and they are already brown.  That means its time for some banana bread:)

Take 3 old bananas and mash them up in a bowl.
In another bowl cream together a cup of sugar and a stick of butter.
Add dry ingredients:
     2 cups flour
     1/4 tsp salt
     1 tsp baking soda
using a hand mixer or stand mixer is best.
once blended (it will seem super dry) add the bananas and beat till smooth and fully incorporated.

optional:  add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans

pour into well greased loaf pan.  I love my silicone one from Target because the bread pops right out when it's done.
optional:  add more nuts to the top of the loaf and sprinkle with sugar. 
                this gives it an almost crumb cake top.  yum!
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 min to an hour.  whenever an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

once out of the oven let it sit and cool for about an hour before you cut into it so that it can firm up.

*now give half of it away before you eat the whole thing!! :)
