Banana Bread

This is a recipe from food network.  It was super moist and delicious bread.  It is definitely an alternative to the sour cream banana bread.

1 cup granulated sugar
1 stick butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas
1 Tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Butter or spray your loaf pan.

Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 
In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.  Mix in the milk and cinnamon.  In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined.  Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Set aside to cool on a rack for 15 minutes.  Remove bread from pan, invert onto rack and cool completely before slicing.

**I also added one of those individual serving sizes of applesauce, and my bread was moist and delicious.  I think I will do this everytime I make it.
