This truly is fantastic banana bread. The other day, I made pumpkin bread, poppy seed bread and this fantastic banana bread and this one disappeared first. I will have to get you the other recipes later!

I was so surprised when I looked and I didn’t have either recipe on the blog!!!!

If you are looking for a last minute idea for your neighbors, you may want to mix up a batch.

What Ingredients Do I Need For Fantastic Banana Bread?

Cooking oil
Medium eggs
Sugar
Vanilla extract
Ripe bananas
Flour
Baking soda
Salt
Buttermilk
Chopped nuts, optional

How Do I Make Fantastic Banana Bread?

In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Then add the bananas.
Slowly add the flour, soda, salt and alternate with the buttermilk.
Add nuts if desired.
Grease two 9″ x 5″ loaf pans.
Divide the batter up evenly between the 2 pans.
Bake @325 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to sit in the pan for 4-5 minutes.
Then turn it out onto a wire rack!

My husband thinks that you need to use bananas that aren’t too ripe, but I like to use them when they are just a little bit darker.

Also I would add walnuts, but they give my hubby cankers. So if I add nuts it is usually pecans!

And for some reason the batter mixes up better if you have your eggs at room temperature.

Cook the bread to a nice golden brown, make sure to put a wooden pick or a cake tester in the center to make sure that the bread gets done all the way through.

I’m excited for this banana bread recipe. I have one I have used but it’s inconsistent (might be our elevation) and this will be a great one to try. Thanks for sharing.
