MOMMY'S BANANA BREAD
Absolutely the best banana bread in the universe! The crust on most recipes is dry because the pan is buttered and floured... but the crust becomes the best part when the pan is buttered and cinnamon-sugared!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 2 teaspoons butter. Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl, and pour the mixture into the buttered pan. Swirl and tap the pan to distribute cinnamon-sugar all over the inside of the pan, up to the rim.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the nutmeg. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup of butter with 1 cup of sugar until creamy; beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the mashed bananas and milk. Mix in the flour mixture just until thoroughly moistened (a few lumps are fine), and scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with 1 more teaspoon of sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling on a wire rack.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread or muffins will be.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly: Make sure there are no large chunks of banana in your batter. This will help ensure that your bread or muffins are evenly textured.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your bread or muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for banana bread or muffins is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they may brown too quickly on the outside before they are cooked through in the center.
- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of your banana bread or muffins. If it comes out clean, they are done. If there is still batter on the toothpick, bake them for a few minutes longer.
Conclusion:
Banana bread and muffins are delicious and easy-to-make treats that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your banana bread or muffins turn out perfectly every time. So next time you have a few ripe bananas on hand, give one of these recipes a try!
