Mommy's Banana Bread Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 2 teaspoons butter. Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl and pour the mixture into the buttered pan. Swirl and tap the pan to distribute cinnamon-sugar all over the inside of the pan up to the rim.

In a bowl whisk together flour baking powder salt 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and the nutmeg. In a large mixing bowl beat 1/2 cup of butter with 1 cup of sugar until creamy; beat in eggs one at a time until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the mashed bananas and milk. Mix in the flour mixture just until thoroughly moistened (a few lumps are fine) and scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with 1 more teaspoon of sugar.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling on a wire rack.
