Banana Bread

 

This is basic banana bread from The Joy of Cooking, but it's fab, especially if you have old, soft, ripe bananas. Jamie loves banana bread, so I tried to make a little J in a heart with chocolate chips, but forgot that loaves of banana bread rise and crack so it didn't work out as expected. Still tasty, though!

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 large ripe bananas, mashed well
1 tsp vanilla extract
