I’ve really been enjoying Tasting Table lately. Lots of great recipes! Here’s one I stumbled upon one morning — and I happened to have four brown bananas about to rot in my kitchen. Samantha and I whipped this up, and were very happy indeed.

Dominique Ansel’s Banana Bread
From TastingTable.com
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
4 overripe bananas, mashed
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing pan
Preheat the oven to 350∞. Grease a 10″ x 5″ x 3 Ω” loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, baking soda, nutmeg, salt and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and combine with the mashed bananas. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined. Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
