Banana Nut Bread

MrsMcD · #1 03-31-2009, 09:33 AM

Does anyone have a delicious banana nut bread recipe that they have made? I know I can get plenty of recipes from the internet but I had rather have one that someone has made. The last recipe I tried didn't have much flavor.

Thanks!

This isn't the one that I use, but a guy at work made it and it's good. I'll post mine tonight.

Was there some kind of demonic influence for the recipe of banana bread? I say throw rotten bananas away, not put them in bread!

I found one and tried on the internet that uses a yellow cake mix. It was good, but I adjusted it by adding a tablespoon of oil, and a teaspoon of vanilla.

2 T. fresh lemon juice
2 cups, mashed bananas (4-6 bananas)

3/4 cup salted butter

3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup pecans

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two loaf pans.

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix lemon juice w/bananas.
Beat butter and sugar until creamy, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

OOOOOOHHHHHHHH MMMMMMMEEEEEEE! Renda, I want some now. I can taste it to this day! She made the best banana nut bread ever! Loved getting those care packages and getting to share it with you! Precious memories - my mom has tried numerous times to come up with one as good but she doesn't have it like your mom did! Don't get me wrong I haven't turned hers down but it still lacks your momma's touch! Thanks for sharing this!

Ah, thanks!

Mom always iced her's too, so you might want to add that. She just mixed powdered sugar and a little milk to make it thin and pour on while warm.......yummm!
