Extreme Banana Nut Bread

When I make this recipe for us, I cut the recipe in half and I either make 1 loaf, or approximately 10 muffins.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened (I use butter)
  • 2 cups white sugar (I use 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup Splenda)
  • Advertisement

  • 2 cups mashed overripe bananas
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour (or line with parchment paper) two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.

Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together (cream) the butter or margarine and sugar until smooth. Stir in the mashed bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and stir just until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. (I cover loosely with foil if it starts browning before the center is done.)

Let the loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack, and cool completely. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture. Ideally, refrigerate the loaves for 2 hours or more before serving.

(When I make muffins, I preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and bake for about 20 minutes. I use cupcake/muffin liners so I don't have to grease the muffin tins. Enjoy!)

This is actually a banana nut bread recipe that I got off of allrecipes.com. I've added some of my comments in parentheses.

Maryeileen, thank you so much for the tip about muffins. I prefer them to a loaf because they freeze so well and are much easier to portion.
