We started cooking together in the summer of 2015 and have planned and cooked a dinner every week since. Our recipes are often inspired by the New York Times’ cooking website but are adapted to fit Muncie availability and a college budget. We are really good at a lot of things, but buying bananas and letting them rot is our specialty. This simple bread is perfect for eliminating banana guilt.
Banana Bread
Estimated cost per serving: $1.17
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups very ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Use some of the butter to grease all sides of a loaf pan.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl. You need to end up with about 2 1/2 cups of mashed banana, though a little less or more is OK.
- Mix the butter and brown sugar until creamed. Add the eggs, making sure to break the yolks.
- Add in the flour and baking soda and stir to combine, making sure all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake for about one hour. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before dumping the loaf out of the pan to cool completely.
Serves eight.
