Super Moist Banana Bread

I love cooking, especially when doing so lets me be resourceful with the things I already have. Banana bread is one of those things that is becoming a staple in our household. We always have bananas going bad before we can eat a whole bundle so the brown ones get thrown into the freezer for my next banana bread batch. Here is the best banana bread recipe I have found; they are super moist and delicious!


























Super Moist Banana Bread Recipe:

1/2 c. butter, room temperature
1 c. sugar
3 med. sized ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tbsp. hot water
1/3 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Butter a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar in large bowl. add bananas, egg yolks, vanilla, and baking soda. Mix well. Stir in flour. Beat egg whites until stiff, then gently fold into batter until blended. Stir in hot water. Scrape into prepared pan. Bake about 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn out on rack. Cool completely.

Again, this is the best recipe I've ever used for banana bread and I've tried several. This is by far my husbands favorite! Try it out and let me know what you think! This recipe works really well if you use 4 mini-loaf pans as well.
