Mini Banana Tea Loaves


Mini Banana Tea Loaves
Makes 8 mini loaves

4 eggs, beaten
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
5-6 bananas, over ripe (black), mashed
1 cup evaporated milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 cups all-purpose flour

  1. Generously grease mini loaf pans, set aside.
  2. Blend eggs, butter and sugar; add bananas, evaporated milk and vanilla extract. 
  3. Stir in dry ingredients; mix well.
  4. Spoon 1 heaping cupful of batter into each loaf pan. Fill each vessel about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees or 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of one loaf comes out clean.

 

Teatime or coffee with friends is a fabulous way to catch up and enjoy the company of each other in between the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.

Tip: This recipe is a quick and easy one to prep when the last of your bananas are just too over ripened to eat. The  bread freezes well in the icebox and can be thawed a few hours before your guests arrive.  Pop the thawed loaves in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds to revive that “just baked” freshness.
