This is the perfect recipe when you have some ripe bananas around. I also use this recipe to make banana chocolate chip muffins. So delicious.
Banana Bread
It's hard to find a good banana bread recipe. I found this one in a cookbook put together by my mother's supper club.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Chop nuts in food processor bowl with steel blade by pulsing 2-3 times (or chop in nut grinder). Set aside chopped nuts.
- Replace steel blade in food processor, place oil and sugar into work bowl, turn machine on.
- Add eggs through feed tube and process till combined
- Add all banana pieces and process until large lumps disappear
- Add milk and vanilla and pulse 2-3 times
- Remove top and add all dry ingredients (flour, soda, powder, cinnamon, and salt) at once and pulse just enough times to combine.
- Add nuts and pulse again.
- Pour into greased and floured 9x3x5 loaf pan.
- Bake 60 minutes or till toothpick tests done
- Cool on rack
- Wrap tightly and store in refrigerator. Texture improves upon standing.
Notes
I don't always use the food processor for this recipe, but it's good to know. Sometimes I will make muffins instead of a loaf - makes 24 muffins - bake for 20 minutes @ 350 degrees. It's also fun to sprinkle a few chocolate chips in the bottom of each cup before filling with batter.
