Banana Nut Bread

"The original of this recipe came from The Family Circle Encyclopedia of Cooking. I have modified it to our likes. It makes the fluffiest and best Banana bread I have ever had. We love it. Makes one very large loaf or 12 muffins."

  1. Great recipe.. I thought I would try a different banana bread recipe and this sounded like a good one....Turned out perfect...nice and high, I left out the nuts but did add the chocolate...Everything is better with chocolate!
     
  2. I made this bread today and by far it blows away my own favorite Banana Bread recipe.This is my favorite now.Very moist and rises high.It's a big hit in my house now!
     
  3. The addition of ground nuts sounded appealing enough to get me to stray from my own favorite banana bread recipe! Mine also has three eggs, so I knew I'd love the texture of yours. This rose up very high and I'm glad I tested the middle with a long knife. Mine baked in about an hour (my bananas were on the smaller side so I think it added to the quicker baking time). This was a very good banana bread and very easy to slice. The ground nuts added to the texture,too. I used the leftovers in my Banana Bread French recipe (posted). Roxygirl
