Banana Nut Bread

H went to the grocery store "alone" this morning and came home with a big bag of ripe banana's, they were not on his list!  The store had marked down the really ripe banana's and he got the whole bag for $1....10 banana's.   H loves to cook, so he made the bread while I cleaned on the house.


I have a favorite banana bread recipe that I would love to share with you!
  

It is the best and most moist banana bread that I have ever tasted.   

The recipe makes 3 large loaves...and freezes very well.



2  1/4 c. sugar.......1 stick of sofened butter......3 eggs........1 T vanilla...... 5 LARGE RIPE mashed banana's.....

Cream butter and sugar, add the eggs and beat well.

Mix the dry ingredients ......1 1/2 t soda.....3 c. flour.....1 1/2 c chopped walnuts (or pecans)

Combine everything and stir well.     Bake at 325 for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean...be careful not to over bake (that can make your bread dry)l

I like to sprinkle it with some powdered sugar, just to make it pretty!   Serve with a hot cup of coffee or tea and enjoy!

    Hey Penny; Thank-You and H so much for Posting this!!!!
    I must try your Recipe!!
    I am surprised that you do not add any type of Nuts to your Recipe....
    The Breads which I have eaten for most of my life always have Nuts, but then again I live in the South ;-) (We are a Nutty bunch, here)
    Thank-You for Sharing!!! :-)

    Penny!! Thanks so much for this great recipe that makes quite a bit!! I LOVE banana bread! My favorite indeed!! I don't make it too often because I am the only one who eats it. Joe is a very picky eater. I love that this makes a lot and can be frozen. I may make this as one of my desserts for when I host a table at the Harvest Tea. I also love zucchini bread.... could sit and eat a whole loaf!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

    Banana nut bread is one of my favorites, and I don't make it enough! Dropping by from Met Monday. Hope you'll come see my grandson's playroom.

    Penny, it's great that your hubby likes to bake. Mine likes to cook breakfast or make bread in the bread machine. I love banana bread. I am going to try your recipe, but I like trying new things. May find that I like it even better than mine. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
