This week for our crafts we have been focusing on the letter B. I wanted an activity that would help reinforce our focus on the letter, but went beyond paper & glue. As I was searching my silly calendar site I discovered that February 23rd is National Banana Bread Day, bingo activity found!
I got my mom’s Banana Nut Bread recipe and Aubrey & I set to work learning about the letter B and making a yummy treat.
1 3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup chopped nuts (we used 1 cup)
2 eggs slightly beaten
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add all dry ingredients.
3. Cut in margarine, with a fork
4. Mash bananas with a fork
4. Stir in bananas and eggs, just until moistened.
