Beatnik Banana Bread

Since Jason and I are working full-time with many extra-curricular activities not normally revolving around kitchen domestic duties, it seems more often than not the bananas we buy gradually turn brown and mushy and the milk we buy eventually goes sour. Normally this would pose a major problem since I grew up in a family that does not waste an ounce of food. However my Beatnik Banana Bread recipe is the answer. I have made it several times for Jason, the ultimate taste-tester and he has given it raved reviews every time.


Beatnik Banana Bread
Ingredients
1 Cup White Flour
3/4 Cup Wheat Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
Dash of salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Cup Brown Mushy Mashed Bananas
1/2 Cup Sour Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, beat sugar and eggs together, add bananas, milk, vanilla, slowly combine dry ingredients a little at a time. (Batter should be more stiff then soupy.) Add batter to a greased bread loaf tin. Bake for 1 hour. Check the insides of the bread with a knife. (Knife should come out clean.) Cool and remove from tin. Slice and enjoy!
