Virginia's Banana Bread

"The BEST EVER! I love this bread-it's very moist and banana-y! From a lady I used to work with; she brought the bread in to work and had to write down the recipe for about ten people! I omit the nuts most of the time. There was a typo in the directions which I fixed after the first review. Enjoy!!!"

  1. This is an absolutely awesome banana nut bread - I've followed the instructions, I've improvised with the number of bananas, the amount of sugar, whole wheat flour - and it's delicious each time.
     
  2. Made for Zaar Tag. The ingredient list does not have butter listed in it, but the first line says to cream the butter and shortening. I used 1/2 cup butter. This turned out pretty good, I also added chocolate chips to mine. Thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen! I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
