My mom was a Home Economist and raised us 4 children after my parents were divorced. She had a hand-written cookbook that had this recipe in it. I made it for the Jefferson County Fair on August 28, 2010 and it won First Place.

This was a great recipe! The banana bread turned out moist and flavorful. I made a few minor changes to the recipe, such as adding a teaspoon of cinnamon and using chopped walnuts instead of pecans. It was a hit with my family and friends.
