Banana Nut Bread

I totally love banana bread… as long as there are nuts in it. It’s a great way to put those left over bananas to good use. The older the bananas, the better the flavor of your banana bread. When my bananas are getting old, I usually put them in the fridge and leave them there until the skins turn good and black, before I use them. Putting them in the fridge is beneficial in other ways as well… bananas left spoiling on the counter top will attract fruit flies… YIKES!

Directions:

Yield: One loaf

1. Mash bananas in medium sized mixing bowl.
2. Add sugar and mix by hand.
3. Add milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Mix by hand.
4. Combine remaining ingredients and add to banana mixture. Stir by hand just until combined.
5. Pour batter in greased loaf pan. Bake on center rack in a preheated 350°F oven for 60 – 70 minutes or until golden brown and tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Remove from pan. Cool on wire rack. Slice and Enjoy!!
