"Very moist bread -- this will drive you nuts as it's baking in the oven. Do not use green or firm bananas in this -- the bananas need to overly ripe so don't toss out those that are "black" -- instead make some Banana Spice Bread."

Original is 14 servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat over to 350 and lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs, vanilla and bananas until mixed.

Step 4

Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just moistened. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 60-65 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.

Step 6

Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes then remove from pan and place on a wire rack.

Step 7

Note: Optional -- you can add chopped nuts if you like. I have added raisins and blueberries as well.

We really enjoyed your Banana Bread, Bobbie! It was so easy to put together, with ingredients I always have on hand. I added 1/2 cup of pecans which, IMO, put it over the top. An excellent recipe that now has a permanent home in my hard copy favorites. Thank you for posting!
