NANA'S BANANA BREAD
In my opinion, this is the absolute best banana bread out there. I got it through a mail order recipe club called "Grandma's Kitchen". It is so easy to make, and it seems like everyone always has some ripening bananas that they're trying to get rid of!

THE BEST BANANA BREAD
We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
- Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Sift together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Mash bananas with lemon juice in a small bowl. (You want a little texture-like semi-lumpy mashed potatoes.)
- Beat butter and next 3 ingredients at low speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer 1 minute or until combined. Increase speed to medium, and beat 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition, stopping to scrape bowl as needed.
- Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Add banana mixture, beating just until batter is blended (no more than 10 seconds). Pour batter into a well-buttered and floured 8- x 4-inch loaf pan, and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 55 to 60 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack, and cool 50 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap (it will still be warm-this helps the bread stay moist), and store at room temperature up to 4 days.
NANA'S BANANA BREAD
Okay I know that I am prejudiced but this is my mother's recipe for banana bread and I think it is the best banana bread in the world. It uses instant milk powder, something I have never seen in any other banana bread recipes. I am adding this to the large group of recipes on Zaar to keep this safe and in the family.

Tips:
- Choosing the right bananas: Use ripe bananas with brown spots for a sweeter and more flavorful banana bread. Overripe bananas are ideal.
- Measuring the flour: To ensure accuracy, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour. Alternatively, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
- Mixing the batter: Avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a dense and tough texture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Baking the banana bread: Preheat the oven before baking the banana bread. This helps to ensure even baking. Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cooling the banana bread: Allow the banana bread to cool completely before serving. This helps to set the texture and flavor.

With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and nutty crunch from the walnuts, this classic banana bread recipe is a delightful treat for any occasion. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon snack, this banana bread is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
