Quick breads or yeast breads need to always have the ingredients measured precisely. Use a knife to level the flour, salt or baking powder since baking is relying on the chemistry. When you have an ingredient 'heaping' you have changed the chemistry!

Molasses Banana Bread

This recipe for old fashioned Molasses Banana Bread makes two loaves.

1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup molasses
2 cups mashed bananas
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
