Banana Bread

This is the recipe my mom always made when I was little. She got it out of an older Betty Crocker cook book. It wasn't in my newer book.


Ingredients
2 overly ripe bananas, peeled
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

OPTIONAL - you can add a cup of chopped walnuts if you'd like.

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray bread tin with Pam.

2. Put whole bananas in mixer and beat until smooth. OR Put bananas in a large bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.

3. Add the rest of ingredients to the mixer or large bowl and beat together until everything is well blended.

4. Pour batter into tin only 3/4 full and bake for 1 hour or until a tester comes out clean.

5. Take out of tin immediately and let cool on a rack.

This was seriously the easiest thing I have ever made. It turned out just like my mom's always did. So yummy!!

  1. Ok so the first batch I made I totally screwed up because I added 3 1/2 tbsp. of baking powder, but the second batch was perfect.

  2. haha I'm always paranoid I'll do that at some point. Glad you liked it! My mom adds chopped walnuts to hers and I love it, but my husband doesn't like nuts so I don't do it.
