Banana Bread

Well since I have something as fancy as Avocado loaf on here I might as well also include my homey little recipe for Banana Bread.  Now I like to make my banana bread with a little something extra baked inside of it, chocolate chips are an easy go to but I'll be putting my banana bread with strudel recipe here.  It looks like a normal loaf from the outside but once it is cut open there are light swirls of cinnamon and sugar baked right in, it is awesome with some butter and served warm.

Banana Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 Cup Flour
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 Eggs
• 4 Soft and Mashed Bananas
• 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Canola Oil

Strudel mixture

• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1/2 Teaspoon Allspice

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare your loaf pan
2. In a small bowl whisk 1/2 cup of brown sugar, with 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg and all spice, set aside, this is your strudel mix.
3. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and remaining cinnamon and nutmeg together, set aside.
4. In a large bowl beat the oil with the brown sugar and eggs. Stir in the mashed bananas  untill reasonably smooth.
5. Pour the flour mixture into the banana mixture and stir with a wooden spoon untill combined.   
6. Pour about 1/3 of the banana bread batter into your loaf pan, and then sprinkle 1/3 of the strudel mix on top of the batter. 
7. Pour in another 1/3 of the batter and top with 1/3 of the strudel, and repeat with the final third.  
8. Bake the loaf for about 45-55 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out cleanly.
9. Serve warm with butter for best results.

Enjoy!
