Banana Bread

BANANA BREAD

Who knew it would be so frustrating at first but I was determined.

We had one nasty banana that I had been saving for the past couple days to make some banana bread. So I found a recipe online. Mashed up the nasty banana with a fresher looking one then searched for our baking soda. Found out that it is either #1 missing or #2 we don't actually have any. So I searched online for substitutes. Found that you can substitute 2 teaspoons of baking power for the 1 teaspoon of baking soda. But then you have to take out the acidic liquid in the recipe and add a non-acidic liquid. I looked at the recipe again and the only liquid I was adding was vanilla. So I searched online to make sure that is acidic-it is. So then I searched for a sweet liquid that was non-acidic, that we had. I searched first for substitutes for vanilla. Came up with Maple Syrup but that is acidic too. Saw on the same site that honey is not acidic. I had honey so we added that. Phew! With all the researching done I could make the bread... praying that it would actually turn out alright and all my time wasn't wasted.

The small loaf was made for Ellie, we had a little bread pan.

I added chocolate chips to her bread.

We LOVE banana bread!!!
