GRANDMA'S BANANA BREAD (AMAZING)



Grandma's Banana Bread (Amazing) image

This is one of those recipes that is so simple yet so amazingly good, that you keep thinking there has to be more to it. It's hard to mess up sweet breads like this, but this is the best of the best. There is something magic in its simple ingredients, and when I experiment with it, I always find I still like the original...

Categories     Sweet Breads

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c butter
1 c sugar (i've tried brown (love brown), and it works, but white is best in this recipe. it lets the other favors shine)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 c (takes about 3) over ripe bananas, mashed
2 c flour
1/2 c nuts, optional (i like pecans)

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter, sugar & eggs. Add salt & baking soda; mix well. Beat in the bananas. Add the flour. Stir in nuts if using.
  • 2. Pour into a LARGE buttered loaf pan (mine measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" on the bottom, 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" on the top, 2 3/4" tall.) If pan is not big enough, it will not cook all the way in the center. If you have a smaller pan, don't use all the batter in one pan. The recipe says to let sit at room temp. For 20 min. I never do.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45- 60 min., until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5-10 minutes before loosening sides and inverting, letting it cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
  • 4. Great out of the oven, even better the next day, if it doesn't get eaten first! Wrap up after it cools completely to keep it moist.

BANANA CRUSH PUNCH



Banana Crush Punch image

It is no secret that I am a die-hard nanner fan. I love nanners any way I can get 'em. However, I think my favorite way to have them is in a flavorful drink. This recipe I got from an ancient cookbook compiled by home ec teachers. Miz Knaus (whoever you are), I salute you!! (Passive time is freeze time - it will vary depending on how firm you freeze it and how far ahead you make it. I would make it the day before serving, so I said 8 hours (overnight).
