Best Ever Banana Bread--really
I scoffed at the name. Who can claim "best ever"? I had to try it for myself. I made it only once. Maybe it was a fluke, maybe it was the pan, or maybe its the recipe. This bread has more sugar than most b. breads, but it created a crystalyzed outside that tasted fantastic. Try it for yourself.
1-3/4 c. flour
1-1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
2-3 mashed ripe bananas
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. plus 1 TB buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. chopped walnuts
In large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine eggs, bananas, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fold in nuts. Pour into a greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake at 325 F for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Note: I think by inspiration of Janna, Sam added chocolate chips. Ooh, yum. Only add chocoloate chips (about 1 cup) if you have company to help you eat it. Jan '06
