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
- Generously grease mini loaf pans, set aside.
- Blend eggs, butter and sugar; add bananas, evaporated milk and vanilla extract.
- Stir in dry ingredients; mix well.
- Spoon 1 heaping cupful of batter into each loaf pan. Fill each vessel about 2/3 full.
- 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.

Good Afternoon,
Boy, what a weekend! The windstorm blew through Oklahoma furiously all weekend and, for a brief moment, we lost power when the transformer on a pole exploded sending sparks down onto the dry grass below. Thankfully two good Samaritans jumped out of their car to stomp out the fire.
Here is a lovely muffin recipe to whip up for the kiddos before they have to catch the bus in the morning. If the kids are nice enough to spare you a handful, call your girlfriends over for Muffins & Coffee (after the kids have left, of course!)
Enjoy,

Good Morning World,
It was enchanting waking up to the land kissed with Jack Frost’s bedazzled dew. It has been so busy around here, I haven’t had any time to share new recipes!
I’m pretty sure you will be pleased to give this recipe a try. Last week my good friend @CindyLorene came to school with a bagful of ingredients. I curiously watched as she mixed all her ingredients into a bowl. The mouth-watering aromas filled the classroom, and wandering teachers poked their heads in, wondering what was cooking. Miss Cindy was on a mission to treat her Secret Pal to some freshly baked Pumpkin Spice Mini Loaves!
I could not leave school without learning how to make these tasty treats, so at the end of the school day, Miss Cindy listed each ingredient as I hastily scribbled them down on a scratch sheet of paper towel, to share with the world.
This recipe calls for only 5 ingredients, and it’s super easy to make for the kids at breakfast time, for the unexpected holiday guest, or as a gift for a friend!
Enjoy!
