For as long as I can remember, I’ve associated baked goods with comfort. I had a friend in high school who’s mom always had baked goods fresh outta the oven when we got home from school and I always believed that’s what the perfect moms in fairy tales did. As I grew, I started baking myself and now, it’s the first place my mind goes when I want to artificially create some hygge in my life (and, I hope, my girls remember the smells of the baked goods they happily gobble down and it brings them comfort too as they grow). ⁣ ⁣ One of my tried and true recipes is a hearty banana loaf. It took me forever to find the right one, but I believe I finally did it. Here’s the recipe xo (it makes 3 loaves)⁣. 💜 Ingredients: - 7-8 (frozen and thawed) bananas - 2 large eggs - 2⁄3 cup melted butter - 2 cups white sugar - 2 tsps pure vanilla extract - 2 tsps baking soda - 1 tsp salt - 3 cups all purpose flour - chocolate chips and/or nuts, as desired (measure with your heart) 💜 Instructions - Preheat oven to 350°⁣F - Mix all wet ingredients well in a Kitchenaid - Mixer⁣ (you don’t need one, but it definitely makes things a lot easier) - Add all dry ingredients and blend well⁣ - Add chocolate chips & nuts (fold in with a spatula)⁣ - Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of loaves⁣ - Pour into greased loaf pans⁣ - For gas ovens, bake 50 mins. For electric ovens, bake 55-60 mins. When you insert a toothpick in the middle of the loaf and it comes out clean, it is done.⁣ 💜 Note: Yes, you can make muffins instead. This recipe will make 30 muffins. Follow all the same instructions but bake for 30 mins instead.⁣ Put a teaspoon of rice into the bottom of the muffin tin before adding your paper or silicone liners to prevent soggy/oily bottoms. Ps.
