Easy Basic Banana Bread Recipe
|
This banana bread recipe is so easy it will make you wonder why you don't bake more often.
Baking this easy bread is a great way to use up those overripe bananas the family doesn't want to eat any more.
An easy sweet treat that's also a healthy food choice. Can't beat that combination.
Best of all? Kids love it! It's a great way to get fruit and nuts into picky eaters.
CookingNook.com's Banana Bread
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup soft margarine
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup mashed bananas
Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
Mix the sugar, margarine and eggs for 3 minutes. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, walnuts and mashed bananas.
Grease a regular size loaf pan. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool, slice and serve.
Tips and Variations:
-
Replacing the sugar with a sugar substitute like Splenda turns this into a great Diabetic dessert or a treat that those of us watching our calorie intake can enjoy in moderation.
-
Add extra walnuts on top of the bread before baking for extra crunch.
-
Here's a simple but great tip. To avoid those pesky strings when peeling bananas, peel them from the bottom end. No strings! It really does work.
