Banana Bread

I know that I haven't posted in a few days, but I've been enjoying not having to post every day:) And I've been busy RUNNING! The weather has been in the high 30's this week so I was able to bundle up and go running outside! I'm now up to 2 miles with a 12.5 minute mile! That may not seem like a lot to all of you but for me that's amazing! In high school the fastest I ever walked (yes I just said walked) the mile was like 18 minutes, so 12.5 seems pretty dang good to me! In fact I'm doing so much better than I thought I would, that I think I'll be able to run my first 5k sooner than expected!!! Yay! 

Anyway, I was supposed to go for another run today, but good old Utah decided we needed a lot more snow! So instead I made banana bread! I got this recipe from my mom and it was sooo good! Normally I'm more of a zucchini bread kind of girl, but I had tons of bananas and needed to use them. Here is the recipe!

Banana Bread

1/2 cup Oil

1 cup Sugar

2 Eggs

3 Lg. Bananas (Mashed)

1 cup Nuts or substitute with 3/4 cup Flour

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1/8 tsp. Salt

2 1/4 cup Flour

Cream oil and sugar. Mix in eggs, bananas, and nuts/flour. Add in the dry ingredients and mix. Grease bread pan and lightly sugar. Pour in dough. Bake at 325 degrees for 35-40 minutes. 

This recipe turned out great! The only thing I had to change was the bread was not fully cooked after 40 minutes. I just checked it every 5-10 minutes after the initial 40 minutes, and pulled it out when a knife inserted came out clean. Super easy, quick, and yummy!

I'm hoping to get a diy craft project done this week so check back later for a post!
