When I teach Dave Ramsey’sFinancial Peace University I try to bring a treat every week for the participants. I’m not bragging, but this was my last classes’ favorite. They inhaled it like a bunch of addicts. The mom of one of the families called it crack bread.

I said, “Crack bread? What’s that?”

She said, “Oh, that’s what my husband calls that banana bread you make. It’s that addicting.”

God love her for saying so. Folks, if you want to butter me up, just brag on my cookin’. Plain and simple. I gave everyone a copy of this recipe and have been wanting to share it with you. But wanted a picture of it and so far it hasn’t stuck around long enough to have it’s picture taken. Ben has been known to tap his foot while I’m clicking away and then say, “Can I eat it now or do I have to wait until it gets cold?” You know what they say…behind every good man is a woman rolling her eyes.

Speaking of cold. This is really rocking if you put it in the frig over night and slice it the next day for breakfast. It turns the crust into some kind of yummy and with coffee– Aww, it just makes me bang my head on the ground.  And did I mention it’s moist? Oh Rhodas, it’s fresh cooked. (If you don’t know why I call you Rhoda, please click here to investigate. Thank you.)

Banana Bread a.k.a. Crack Bread

3 Eggs

11/2 Cup Smashed Bananas (I use 3 or 4 empty bananas.)

3/4 Cup Applesauce

2 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Oil

3 Teaspoon Vanilla

3 Cup Flour

1 Teaspoon Salt

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Walnuts If you want. (I don’t, as I think they are high risk food.)

Beat eggs until foamy. Add oil, sugar, bananas and vanilla; mix well. Add flour, soda, powder and cinnamon. Mix again. Pour into greased and floured pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. (I always stick something it into it to test for doneness, like a tooth pick, steak knife or something. If it comes out clean…it’s time to eat some crack bread.) I almost forgot, this makes three loaves. It’s great in a cake pan too. Feel free to use what you have.

Enjoy!

PS ~ This recipe isn’t original to me. I stole it from a Western Kansas Southern Baptist cookbook. It’s no secret Baptist women can cook. Thank you Miss Stephanie where ever you are. I doubt angels cook this well.
