Who, is Rosemary Lyn, do you ask...... no one. I combined a recipe from my mother and one from a dear family friend (Rosemary, in case you couldn't guess :), and got my own twist on TWO great recipes. This bread is fluffy and aromatic and absolutely dreamy! Once you read the ingredients you may try to talk yourself out of it, but DON'T, it's worth the sit-ups later. I like to add extra things here and there to make things my own, but I'm going to give you the base recipe and you can change it how ever you want to.
2 1/2 C Butter 10 C sifted Flour
7 C Sugar 2 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
10 Eggs 1 1/4 tsp Salt
15 Bananas 2 1/2 C Heavy Cream
5 tsp. Vanilla
Ok, Pre-heat the oven to 350*. This recipe is obviously super HUGE. It yields 6 or 7 loaves, feel free to cut it in half. Cream together the Sugar, Butter and Eggs, then add the Nanners and Vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and stir in to the Creamy stuff. After it is Incorporated, stir in the heavy cream. bake for about an hour. I start at 45 min, and go from there, Every oven is different.
My Change up is this. First, I never measure vanilla and I usually double it at the very least! Second I add cinnamon to almost every kind of sweet loaf! Other spices are good too, but cinnamon is my favorite. Third, I took a struesel recipe and added to the top before baking. Here is that recipe:
1/2 C Brown Sugar
3 Tbls. Flour
4 Tbls. Cold Butter
Cut these ingredients together with either a pastry blender or a fork, which ever is handy and sprinkle on top! Make sure not to go to thick cause it'll sink the center of your loaf!

| Remember, these 4 loaves are a HALF time recipe! |
