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.
GRANDMA'S BANANA BREAD
This bread recipe was from my husband's grandmother. It is so simple to make and always comes out great. The original recipe did not have the vanilla in it, but I always add it. If I have bananas that are ripe, but I am not ready to make the bread, I just plop them in the freezer, peel and all. No need to put in a bag. They will turn black, but the insides will remain good and will be perfect for the bread. Just remove from the freezer, peel and add to the mixture.

Steps:
- Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a bowl.
- Add eggs, Crisco and 1 cup of the ripened, mashed bananas.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Add remaining bananas and lemon juice.
- Beat 2 more minutes.
- Fold in nuts.
- Pour into a loaf pan sprayed with non stick cooking spray.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until knife comes out clean.
Tips:
- Use overripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure the bananas are mashed until they are completely smooth. This will help to create a moist and tender bread.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: Banana bread should be baked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees F) so that it has time to cook through without drying out.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Grandma's Homemade Banana Bread is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist and tender texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy walnut topping, this bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. So next time you have some overripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
