Banana Bread

My mother makes some seriously delicious banana bread, not too moist and not too hard with the perfect amount banana flavor. I have taken her recipe and put my own lactose-free twist on it.

Ingredients:
3 Bananas (rotted or very close to it)
1 Egg
1 tsp. Baking soda
1 tsp. Baking powder
¾ c. Sugar
2 c. Flour
2 tbsp. Melted butter



Mix the first 5 ingredients together until frothy by hand or using a mixer, then slowly add the flour. Blend in the melted butter. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured bread pan and sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes.



What did I leave out? I left out a ½ cup of milk (skim and 2% work fine). I found the bread to be no less moist, but if you are looking for a more moist bread, include the milk with a lactose-free version of your choice. The milk should be added before the butter according to the instructions above. Another ingredient that can be added if you so desire, are walnuts. If you’re adding those, fold them in after all other ingredients have been combined and you can even throw some on top with the cinnamon and sugar!
