Banana Nut Bread

This is my Mom’s recipe. She was a great cook.  This list below was all the written instruction I got from here, but here’s what I do.  First I butter and flour the pan.  Then I mash up the bananas. The riper the better.  Here’s a little trick. If your bananas are getting a little “gone bad,” throw them in the freezer. They will turn black, but they are still good for banana bread on the inside. Just thaw them a bit, peel them, and mash them up. After I combine the sugar and butter, I add the bananas and the eggs. Then I combine the dry ingredients and add them alternately with the buttermilk.  I stir the nuts in last.  You can make them into muffins, but they don’t rise very much because they are so dense.  So fill the cups almost to the top.

  • 3 cu. flour
  • ¾ cu. butter
  • 3 cu. sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. soda
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 T. vanilla
  • 5 large or 4 small bananas
  • 1 cu. nuts
  • ½ cu. buttermilk

Bake 1 hr. or so at 350 in a  Bundt pan.
