Tonight I came home to the smell of fresh banana bread. Brent has now made banana bread twice and it is...dare I say it...better than any other I have tried.
Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas
1, 3/4 cups flour
3 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1. Grease a loaf pan and heat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Mash the bananas into a lumpy pulp. Add the butter, sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla, flour and baking soda and mix with an electric mixer or hand-held mixer until smooth. Pour into the pan. Bake for 1 hour, 10 minutes.
3. While it cools, make the frosting! Put 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tbsp water into a small pan over gentle heat and wait until the sugar is dissolved. Let it simmer until it looks like a silky caramel.
4. Put 1/2 cup cream cheese into a bowl and pour the caramel mixture over top and whisk together until you get a smooth frosting. Once the loaf is cool, spread the frosting on top. Bet you eat more than 1 slice ;)
Incredible! I have the best husband ever!
