Do you often think about trying a new recipe or like to watch the cooking channels?  MSAA is proud to announce the New Recipe of the Month!  Each month a new recipe will be shared with you to try and enjoy.

The first recipe I would like to share with you is my homemade Banana Bread.  I like simple-to-follow recipes, and this is definitely one of them. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare and one hour to bake.

Ingredients: 

½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3 medium extra ripe bananas, finely mashed
2 cups wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons milk
Chocolate chips or nuts optional.  Hand mix into batter

Directions:

1. Cream together eggs, vegetable oil and sugar.
2. Add mashed bananas.
3. Combine well.
4. Sift together wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture.
5. Add vanilla and milk.
6. You can also add chocolate chips or nuts if you would like.
7. Pour into greased and floured loaf pan.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Happy Baking!
