Banana Bread kind of day....

Yesterday after cleaning my upstairs I needed a break and of course a reason to take some pictures. The wind here these last couple of days has been unbearable....unbearable to where I HATE to go outside! So I had found a new recipe for Banana Bread that I thought I would give a try.....

 So out came the ingredients....

I loaded up all the dry ingredients....flour......

 Sugar.....

Then started the wet ingredients.....ummm....helllooo ya think these bananas have seen BETTER days!? ;)  Hey it said the more ove-ripe the better......I'm thinking these should be PERFECT! LOL

 Softened up butter.....the oddest ingredient which I didn't capture a photo of was yogurt.....hmmmm...that was what caught my eye about this recipe...it added an element of unexpectedness, and I'm always up for that!

Well..I sorta got a picture of the yogurt. This is actually the mashed bananas with the yogurt getting mixed in....hmmm, I'm still intrigued!

Vanilla, which I am a huge fan of!

 2 eggs...

 Lightly beaten.....

Oh, and I'm a huge believer that chocolate added to anything is pure heaven....so yep, in went the chocolate chips!

 Now the coming together of the wet and dry ingredients....

 ohhhh, by this point I was super excited to try this!

 Into the lightly greased loaf pan and now for the fun part.....

 A cinnamon sugar topping.....which was yet another element that had my taste buds peaked!

 Sprinkle the topping all over the top of the uncooked bread....

 All ready to go into the oven....

This made me laugh because hubby says I am a messy cook and I guess by this picture I kind of am, even though I was technically a baker that day...I guess either way I'm a MESS!!!  He's so good because he cleans up as he goes, me...not so much!! ;)

 A peak in the oven to see the beauty.......

 YUM!!

 The finished delight.....

The first decadent slice which of course HAD to be taste tested since I was taking it to a friend's house. Well I couldn't very well take it over not knowing if it was a complete disaster being it was my first time making this recipe.

I am pleased to say it was scrumptious!!!! It was just the right amount of moist and the cinnamon sugar topping was to die for. It got rave reviews from the kiddos so I think it's a keeper!!!!!

I would say it was a successful break from cleaning.....gave me just enough photography practice for the day and filled my love of sweets!!!! xoxo
