Banana Nut Bread Made by Mom
- Ready In:
- 1hr 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
-
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
-
Wet Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup shortening (you can also substutite with oil and will not harm the loaf.)
- 2 eggs
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1⁄2 cup nuts (Walnut is our favorite but use what you have or like)
- 1 banana (Mashed)
directions
- In a large bowl mix together all dry ingredients well.
- In a seperate bowl mix eggs, shortening (or the oil) and banana until well combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture until well combined with a hand mixer.
- Add the nuts and mix on low to medium speed for about a minute or until the nuts are evenly mixed into the batter.
- Spray or grease a 9X5X3 loaf pan and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 for about an hour --
- We have always set the kitchen timer to 45 minutes and have checked the loaf with a clean butter knife in the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean it's done. You do not want the loaf to burn, at this point you will check the loaf every 5 minutes after that. It should have a nice golden brown color on the top and the house should smell wonderful. When it comes out of the oven give it about 20 minutes or so to cool and very carefully slide a butter knife or spatula down all of the sides of the loaf pan, turn upside down and it should fall out smoothly. Slice immediately -- we like to spread softened butter and enjoy with a cold glass of milk.

My husband gives this a 10 on a scale of 1-10. Love it! ChrissyVas 80 did a great job of perfecting her Mom's recipe. I tripled it because I had 3 bananas about to get tossed. Made per instructions but the batter was so thin, I added another two cups of flour to reach what I felt was the right consistancy. I used two 11"x 5" X 4" foil pans and baked for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Loaves got a little dark on the top but the slicing was perfect and the crust has just a bit of crunch to it. Happy to give this 5 stars. Good going, ChrissyVas80!
