Baking Bread

Ever woken up from a dream about baking bread? I did! Our kids woke us up early on a Saturday morning – so I baked bread! I like to bake and wish I would do it more often.

We have a TON of frozen bananas because the kids don’t always finish theirs…. So after a quick search for a banana bread recipe, I got to work! Use what you have – save money and not have to venture out of the house with the kids! Ha!

Because I was using frozen, already peeled bananas, I defrosted them in the microwave and then drained the excess water out of the bowl before mashing them with a fork. This made it real easy to get them to the consistency I wanted for my banana bread so we would taste bananas all over.

The banana recipe I followed let me make one loaf of sweet, delicious banana bread! It included bananas, chocolate chips and walnuts. It was sooooo good!

Did I stop at one loaf of banana bread? Nah… I made 5 loaves of cinnamon raisin bread after that! Because the oven was already heated and why not??
