~ Quick and Delicious Banana Bread ~

May 23, 2012 · 21 Comments


Inspired by:  The New McCall’s Cookbook
Ingredients:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour – sifted
2/3 cup sugar
3 tsps. baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking soda
1/3 cup butter
1 cup mashed very ripe banana – (2 or 3)
2 eggs
Preheat Oven 350 degrees:
Butter a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, sift flour with sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.  Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add banana and eggs; with electric mixer at low speed, beat 2 minutes.
Turn into prepared pan.
Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until cake tester inserted in middle comes out clean.
This is a very old cookbook that belonged to my mother. It seems everything I make from this book turns out wonderful.
With Love,
Catherine

    Seems many of those old cookbooks never fail, I have a few like that too Catherine. I'll have to try this recipe Catherine. My son Red loves banana bread almost as much as I do. We sure could use a sweet treat to cheer ups up.

    I've got some frozen bananas that are begging to get out of the cold and into this bread. Looks delicious.

    That looks like a great loaf! I wish I had some over-ripe bananas at home right now so I could make it! I've been really bad at visiting blogs lately... life has been crazy! Just catching up :)
