Mom's Banana Nut Bread

This is the recipe for my Mommy's Banana Nut Bread that I promised so long ago. (Yes, I got her permission first before posting this--thanks Mom!!) I make this bread just about every month. It is simple and delicious and makes the house smell tasty. Usually, I make it without the nuts, and it's still just as good.

 








Bananas begging once again

to become banana bread!







Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas

1 C sugar

1/2 C butter

1 tsp baking soda

1 Tbsp water

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 C flour

2 eggs

1 C chopped walnuts

Directions:

Mash bananas and sugar together and let stand for 15 minutes.

Add in the butter. Dissolve the baking soda in the water, then add to the banana mixture.

In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together, then add to banana mixture.

Add the eggs and nutmeat. Stir just enough to mix.

Pour into a greased loaf pan and let stand for 15 minutes.

Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour and 10 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean).





Just baked last night!



You can enjoy a slice for breakfast with your favorite tea. . . or as a snack with a little eggnog (no worries--alcohol-free!)

{Thanks to Husband for picking up such yummy eggnog the other day!}
