Moist Banana Bread

Makes One Loaf

Ingredients
3 Bananas (Cut into "coins")
2 Cups Flour
2 Eggs
3/4 Cups Sugar
1/3 Cup Butter (Melted)
2 Tb Cream Cheese
1 Tb Brown Sugar
1 ts Baking Soda
1 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt

Directions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix the flour, eggs, sugar, butter, cream cheese, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl until they are smooth and the batter has an even consistency.  The thickness will be similar to that of cake batter.  Next, add in your bananas.  Use a metal spoon to stir in the bananas and use the back of the spoon to crush them.  You want the majority of the banana flesh to be crushed so that it stirs into the batter.  It is acceptable, though, (and sometimes preferred) to have a few lumps when you are done stirring.

Pour the batter into a lightly greased loaf pan and allow it cook on the middle rack of the oven.  It will probably take between 20 and 30 minutes to finish. 

You will be finished when the bread is thoroughly solid in the middle and brown on the outside.  To test the middle you can insert a skewer into the bread to check for done-ness.  If the skewer, when removed from the bread, is clean, your bread has baked through.

After removing the bread from the oven, allow it to cool for 40 minutes.

Once it is cool, you may remove the bread from the pan and cut it into slices.
