Delicious Banana Nut Bread

!±8± Delicious Banana Nut Bread

When I make this delicious banana nut bread my whole family gets excited! The thing that I love about this recipe is that it not only does it taste great but it is easy to make. If you were to ask my family what their favorite thing I bake this is the winner. In this article I am going to give you the recipe and instructions I use to make this bread.

Here is what you need:

* 3/4 cup butter

* 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

* 1/3 cup of brown sugar

* 4 medium size brown bananas

* 2 eggs, well beaten

* 1 teaspoon vanilla

* 2 cups sifted flour

* 1 teaspoon baking soda

* 3/4 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 cup buttermilk

* 3/4 cup chopped nuts

Here is how to make it:

Cream butter and both sugars thoroughly. Blend in mashed bananas, eggs and vanilla. Next, sift your flour, soda and salt together. Add to banana mixture alternately with buttermilk. Make sure to mix thoroughly after each addition. Add nuts and mix real well. Pour batter into greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 325 for 1 1/4 hours or until well done. I take a tooth pick and insert it in the center of the loaf to see if it is ready.

I have found that using really brown bananas make the bread sweeter. I also use the brown sugar along with the granulated sugar because it also makes the bread sweeter.

I make this for gifts at holidays or for special occasions. I have found that this freezes well. I always double my recipe and freeze part of it.

Making banana nut bread is so simple with this recipe. Hopefully you will love it as much as my family does!

The Guaranteed to Be Moist Banana Bread Recipe

!±8± The Guaranteed to Be Moist Banana Bread Recipe

Don't you just hate eating dry banana bread? I know I do. And the worst part is that it seems like almost every banana bread I try is incredible dry (you know, the kind of dry that literally shuts the top and bottom of your mouth together).

That's why I had to come up with my own moist banana bread recipe. After a little experimenting in the kitchen, here's the recipe I came up with to guarantee a moist banana bread experience.

Here are the ingredients for the Guaranteed To Be Moist Banana Bread:

2 1/2 cups of Flour
4 Bananas (very ripe)
1 3/4 cups of Sugar
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 cup of Vegetable Shortening
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
3 Eggs
1/4 cup of Buttermilk
1 1/3 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup of Walnuts (chopped)

This recipe provides enough batter for two standard 9 inch by 5 inch loaf size cooking pans. If you would like to make just one loaf of moist banana bread, just reduce the ingredient amounts by half.

Recipe Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, vegetable shortening, and salt. Stir until creamy, and then transfer into mixer.

3. Add the eggs and mix.

4. Add the buttermilk, flour, and baking soda and mix until batter has become uniform in consistency.

5. Mash up the ripe bananas and place in mixer along with walnuts. Mix up the batter one last time.

6. Grease up both loaf pans. Dust some flour to keep it from sticking.

7. Pour batter evenly between both loaf pans, and bake on oven for 45 minutes.

8. When you place a toothpick or knife blade into the banana bread and it comes out clean, then you know that the bread is fully cooked.

9. Let stand for thirty minutes before serving.

By following this recipe, I can pretty much guarantee that you will make deliciously moist banana bread every time. No more having to chug down a glass of milk to regain the ability to talk. I personally prefer my banana bread served warm with a slight spread of sweet butter. The combination of the melting butter and the moistness of the bread is incredibly satisfying to my taste buds.
