Blessed Bread
Submitted by Kathy Young from Jo-Carroll Energy, Inc. (NFP)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1 Cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/4 C Marachino cherries (drained and chopped)
2 cups flour
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 bananas (1 cup smashed)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Directions:
Beat eggs with fork until thick and piled. Blend in the bananas, melted butter and nuts, cherries and chocolate chips. In separate bowl, add and mix the dry ingredients. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and add liquid ingredients and mix. Stir only to moisten dry ingredients. Spray small loaf pans (I use the foil type ones)….makes 3-4 loaves. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until knife comes out clean. I wrap them up in brown craft paper and tie with a burlap ribbon with a small “cross”. It’s blessed bread because I had the salt blessed. Normally called Ranch Bread by my mother! Moist and delicious.
