Yummy Banana Bread

This is a recipe I got from my mom (who probably got it from her mom) and it's the best, most moist banana bread you'll ever have! Make it as a loaf or as muffins (with the crumb topping). Delicious add-ins include walnuts, chocolate chips, or cinnamon chips!

What You Need:
Bread Dough:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2-3 over-ripe (brown & squishy) bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. white vinegar

Crumb Topping:
2/3 cup brown sugar
4 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. cold butter


What You Do:
1. Preheat oven to 325°. Spray or grease a 9"x5" loaf pan or 24 muffin cups.

2. Combine vinegar and milk in a small cup. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda.

4. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and bananas until mostly smooth. Gradually add the flour mixture to the banana mixture.

5. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

6. Add milk to the banana mixture. (The vinegar will have caused it to turn a little chunky. This is good! It's basically just a cheap way of imitating buttermilk.) Mix well and pour mixture into your pan(s).

7. If you're making the crumb topping, combine first 3 topping ingredients and then cut in the butter using a fork or pastry blander. Sprinkle topping over dough before baking.

8. Bake for about 75 minutes (if in loaf pan) or 20-25 minutes (if in muffin tins).
