{ banana nut bread } recipe

Based on taste alone, I have always thought banana nut bread had to be difficult to make.

I was wrong!

If you love that heavy, moist, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth kind of banana

bread, this is the recipe for you! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour 

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 cup butter or margarine (softened)

2 cups white sugar

2 cups mashed over-ripe bananas (about 4)

4 eggs; beaten

1 cup chopped walnuts

(yield: 2 loaves)

Directions:

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two

9x5 inch loaf pans.

 Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Mix well.

 In a separate bowl mix butter and sugar until smooth.

Stir bananas, eggs and walnuts into the sugar mixture until

blended.

Mix wet and dry ingredients. The consistency is that of a
batter and not a dough.

Divide into two loaf pans. (I've halved my recipe so I only

have one pan)

Bake 55-60 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Allow to cool in pans

at least 5 minutes, then cool on rack.

Wrap loaves in tin foil to retain moisture.

Enjoy!
