QUICK BANANA BREAD MUFFIN RECIPE

Good Afternoon Dear Ones,

Bananas are a great source of Potassium.
I buy them when I can for my honey and myself.
If you have a problem with leg cramps, charlie horses -
I would recommend eating at least one banana a day.
It can't hurt to try...
unless, you're allergic to bananas
:o)

You can just peel and eat.
You can Cut one up on your cereal or oatmeal.
Slice one up in a small fruit salad or
My favorite way is in
Banana bread or banana muffins.

I like to sprinkle or break up a few pecans and place on top
of the mixture just before they go into the oven.
Chopped course or chopped fine, pecans are fine, of course ;o)
It depends on your personal preference.


Ok,
lets talk Banana Bread.
I will be sharing lots of recipes with you in the upcoming year
Since I have been 'under the weather' lately, I have been using
a lot of quick meal ideas.


Looks like they need 1 more day to r i p e n...






This recipe is for my Quick banana bread recipe.
It uses one box of regular inexpensive yellow cake mix.

QUICK BANANA BREAD RECIPE


1 box of yellow cake mix
3 beaten eggs
4 or so over ripe bananas (mashed well)
be sure and peel the bananas first
;)
nuts
i sure feel like it some days...
sorry,
nuts (optional)
walnuts or pecans


Combine eggs and bananas.
Stir in cake mix.
Blend on low till moist.
Beat 3 minutes on medium.
Mix a few nuts in the mixture and
sprinkle on top of batter right
before placing in a hot oven.




BANANA LOAF BREAD:
Pour batter in 2 greased loaf pans
or
MUFFINS:
pour in greased muffin pans or use paper liners
sprinkle a few nuts on top.

Bake for 45-50 minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven.

Great with a smear of cream cheese or
with just a dot or two of butter.
To store:
I remove the bread from the loaf pan
after it has completely cooled,
wrap it in saran wrap and place it back in a clean loaf pan.

If you would rather, you can slice your bread and
store it in a airtight container.


UPDATE:

I made the banana bread loaves today.
I wanted to share some pics of my bread.
I added a few shakes of cinnamon,
next time -
I'm going to add 1 or 2 tablespoons
:)




You can really see the pecans in this one,
I leave a few pecans very coarse cause, I like the way
it makes the finished bread look.
