Earl Grey Banana Bread

Being an adult means living with a routine that keeps you sane. A banana and hard boiled egg is part of that routine and without them it's like you didn't comb your hair. The downside...I tend to have ripe bananas by day Thursday. Of course, I can do all those "slow-ripening" techniques but I frequently forget so on the regular, there is banana bread in our household. 

Back at it again with them tea recipes. 

Earl Grey Banana Bread

  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, cream together butter and sugar. Once it is smooth, add bananas and eggs. Beat until smooth.
     
  2. Add milk and beat until combined then add the flours, baking soda/powder, salt and earl grey tea leaves, and nutmeg into to the banana mixture. Stir until well combined (the longer the you stir it, the more dense it will be)
