Izzy's Favorite Banana Bread

This is a dessert bread... please don't think this is by any means a healthy loaf of bread!

This is to make 1 loaf:

1 cup of sugar
8 tbsp of unsalted Sweet Irish Butter (we have made it with regular unsalted, it's still yummy)
2 large eggs
3 bananas "with LOTS of freckles" (super ripe)
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat the over to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time making sure you beat them well after each addition.

In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork (Izzy favorite part). Mix in the milk and cinnamon.

In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the banana mix to the creamed mix and stir until they are combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until the flour disappears.

Pour the batter into the buttered pan and bake for around 1 hour to an hour and 10 minutes. You can check it with the toothpick test (insert toothpick in the middle of the loaf and if it comes out clean it's done).

Cool the bread completely before slicing! (It's best if you have a cooling rack)

We just like to warm the bread and eat a piece with a little melted butter. But it also goes well with honey or ice cream! Enjoy! :)
