Moist Banana Bread

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
2 1/4 cups mashed overripe bananas
4 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (opt.)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 9x5 inch loaf pans.
2. Sift the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix butter, vanilla, and sugar till smooth. Stir in the banana, eggs and walnuts until well blended. Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture; stir just till blended. Pour batter evenly into the two loaf pans.

Bake 60 minutes, until knife inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Let loaves cool 10 min. before turning out onto cooling rack; cool completely before wrapping in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture.

COMMENTS:
When baked this loaf looks very dark and yet isn't overcooked. It is dense and yet very moist with a very rich flavour. There are no dry edges.

DELICIOUS!!
