Banana Bread with an added little something.

  I came up with this recipe one day when I needed to get rid of some bananas and oranges. Give it a try!!!
 Preheat your oven to 350. Get 2 bread loaf pans and spray well, set aside.

 Banana Bread with a zing of Orange.
   4 Over Ripe Bananas (Smashed)
   1 C Honey or Sugar
   2 Large Eggs
   2 tsp Real Vanilla (you can use imitation but the real stuff makes a difference)
  3/4 C Oil
   1/2 tsp Salt
   1/2 tsp Baking Soda
   1 tsp Baking Powder
   1 Whole Orange Zested and Juiced (Optional but really makes a statement. Without it you just have regular banana bread.)
   1 Cup Nuts your choice (Optional)
   1 Cup Chocolate Chips (Optional)
       If you use both the nuts and chips only use about half of each. Or eyeball how chunky you want your bread.
   Mix all of these ingredients together until well blended!

 2 - 2 1/2 Cups Flour (If you use honey use 2 1/2 cups of flour if Sugar use only 2 cups of flour. Also,if you used Honey use all wheat flour or half wheat half white. The more wheat the better it will taste with your Honey. If you used Sugar use white flour.)
 Mix well and place in two well greased bread loaf pans. Bake at the 350 for 50-60 minutes.
Can make into muffins as well. Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
 Stick a butter knife into them. If it comes out clean they are done. Note: With your bread the top will be cracked and brown. If you pull it out to check and it wobbles at all it is NOT done. DONT stick anything into it just put it back into the oven and close the door. If you set your timer then you should be good with not having it wobble. If it is a little doughy bake for another 5 minutes and check again.
 This is an easy recipe and a good one to teach a beginner who wants to wow some friends and family. :)
