Best Banana Bread

Hello Fellow Foodies!  I don't bake a lot but I do have some staple recipes that are long standing family favorites.  This is one of them.  One day I had about 5 overly ripe bananas but didn't want them to go to waste so this is the result...a moist, sweet and delicious banana bread recipe.  If you don't have brown sugar feel free to use white sugar.  That's the beautiful thing about this recipe - the ingredients are probably already in your pantry! So have some with a hot cup of tea or coffee on a crisp fall morning and let me know what you think.

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar 
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 very ripe bananas, mashed

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
