Tralalala~~
Today was a really busy day. But I managed to bake a bread :D
Like always, I'm sharing! 

Banana bread, yay! Maybe I can toast it after baking and make banana bread toast

It's actually a recipe a nicked off after a random search of "Banana bread for bread machines". I followed it in its entirety (except for baking time), but plan to make with less sugar next time. Also, the name is bread, but I think it's more like a cake. It took me some 2 hours to bake the thing.

Banana Bread (Quick Bread for Machines) 
Recipe from: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/banana-bread---quick-bread-for-machines/

A quick banana bread for the bread machine. Use the DOUGH setting for mixing, then BAKE with the control set to light.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise

Directions
  • Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine.
  • Select the Dough setting, and press Start. Mix the bread for 3 to 5 minutes until the bananas are mashed and all ingredients are thoroughly combined. If necessary, use a rubber spatula to push the dough from the sides of the bread pan. When 3 to 5 minutes have passed on the clock display, press Stop. Do not continue mixing. Smooth out the top of the loaf with the rubber spatula.
  • Select the Bake setting, and press Start. The Bake cycle time may vary with machines, but should be about 50 minutes. To test the bread for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center top. Remove the toothpick. If the bread is done, the toothpick will come out clean. If there is dough on the toothpick, reset the machine on Bake and continue to bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Test again with the toothpick to assure the bread is completely baked. Remove the pan from the machine, but allow the bread to remain in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread to cool completely on a wire rack.

And it was yummy too! I think I'll try to cut it thinly and toast it tomorrow and see how it goes :P
