Ma’s Banana Nut Bread
My son requested this today. It’s the recipe my mom has been using forever. It’s from a set of Women’s Day cookbooks from the late 60’s? Anyway, thought you might enjoy (I’ve tried other recipes but still go back to this one).
Banana Nut Bread
Dry:
- 2 c. flour
- 1 t. baking soda
- 1/2 t. baking powder
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/2 c. nuts
Wet:
- 1/2 c. oil
- 1 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 mashed (very ripe) bananas
- 3 T. milk
- 1/2 t. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 1 loaf pan. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix thoroughly. Pour into loaf pan. Bake for about 60 minutes (until a toothpick inserted comes out clean). Let cool for about 5 minutes then remove from pan. Try to let cool, though this never happens in my house.
I usually double the recipe because I actually have people give me bananas just to make them some of this bread.
