He Thinks He's the Big Banana

I'm going to start off with my fabulously moist and tasty Banana Bread, as in He Thinks He's the Big Banana.... Because honestly don't we all know someone like that?  Mostly I'm starting with this because 1. I made it yesterday.
2. I have a picture of it.
3. I'm stuffing my face with it and adding to my spare-tire as we speak!


See I told you I had a picture!!

OK here goes.................


Start by heating up the oven to 350 degrees. I know, I know with all this HOT weather we've had lately who wants to heat up the house? I promise the results are worth it!

In a large bowl ( I use my kitchen-aid mixer) Take 4-5 RIPE banana's and smash the heck out of them.  Add 2 cups of white sugar. Mix well. Add 3/4 cup of vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup of butter milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla  and 1/4 cup of mayo ( yes mayo it's a little secret to help almost any baked good come out moist?!) Mix these well.

In a smaller bowl mix together 2 1/4 c all-purpose flour, 1 1/3 teaspoons of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add the Flour Mix to the Banana mixture and mix until completely combined. At this point you can add nuts, chocolate chips, dried cranberries or raisins. I recommend a pecan/ chocolate chip combo!

Spray your Loaf Pans (makes 2) or Mini-Loaf Pans (makes 9) or Muffin Tins ( Makes Lots!) Fill and Bake! Then eat slathered with real BUTTER!!
