Banana Bread
Ingredients
  • 2
    cups all-purpose flour
  • 1
    cup sugar
  • 2
    teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2
    teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4
    teaspoon salt
  • 1
    cup mashed ripe banana (2 to 3 medium)
  • 1/2
    cup margarine or butter, softened
  • 3
    tablespoons milk
  • 2
    eggs
  • 1
    cup toasted walnuts
Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl combine 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add mashed ripe banana, margarine or butter, and milk. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and remaining flour; beat until blended. Stir in walnuts.

2. Pour into two greased 8x4x2-inch loaf pans. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool thoroughly on wire racks. Wrap and store overnight, for easier slicing. Makes 2 loaves (32 servings).

I can't imagine anyone not putting grated lemon rind and a half tsp. vanilla. If you're all in the states, use the Mexican vanilla but must say does not contain comerin. I also do not use egg yolks just the whites, if any of you is concerned about the high content of animal fat in yolks. I also use whole wheat flour and half the sugar. With the vanilla and minced lemon rind, it totally gives it a beautiful flavor and please wrap and leave in regrigerator, it stays moist longer.

This is a really good recipe, but to spice it up I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar and then sprinkled the batter on top with brown sugar and cinnamon just before baking. It was very good.

This is the best recipe I have found. I used 4 banana's and doubled the recipe and after taken out of the oven lightly sprinkled milk on top to add more moisture. It was great and my family could not stop eating. Thank you.

This was an alright bread...a little bland for me. Needs something for a little more flavor. Sprinkled cinnamon sugar on slices.
