Banana Bread

While in college, some friends and I decided to have a Luau. We worked with Marriott, who ran the dining hall services on campus to set the menu and cater the event. In researching recipes, this banana bread was forwarded on from an auntie at home, in Hawaii. We tested it and ever since has been a favorite.

1 1/4c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1c granulated sugar
1/4 lb unsalted butter, room temperature
2 eggs
4 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 c chocolate chips (optional)
1/4 c walnuts (optional)

Cream butter and sugar. Add  the salt, baking soda, and eggs. Mix in bananas until incorporated. Hand stir in the flour, do not over mix. Fold in nuts and Chocolate Chips.

Pour in greased loaf pan (3 mini loaf pans). Bake at 350º for 35-45 minutes.
