Best Banana Nut Bread Recipe Ever!

My husband has eaten banana nut bread for years for breakfast.  If I don't have some made, he gets quite disgruntled.  He swears it is the best banana nut bread ever made.  I have raised my kids on it;  Steph loves it as well.  Friends ask for it and jokingly fight over it.  If I leave it off of the Christmas candy trays, I get the evil eye.  Two things must be on that tray; the banana nut bread and the white Christmas candy - if both are not present, we get the evil eye - or the pouty eyes.  Will give the white candy recipe later.  I have no idea what makes the banana nut bread so popular, but I am not complaining.  

Do you want the recipe?  It is super simple and I believe one of the secrets is to us PECANS as opposed to walnuts.  The pecans add a wonderful flavor.

Mouth watering yet?

Here is the recipe:

eb's Banana Nut Bread

½ c margarine

1 c sugar

2 eggs

2 c flour

1 c mashed bananas

1 teaspoon soda

3 Tablespoons buttermilk OR 3 T milk mixed with 1 teaspoon vinegar

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup cut up PECANS

Melt margarine, mix margarine and sugar, add eggs and mix.  Add remaining ingredients. Fill greased loaf pans a bit over half full and bake in 350 degree oven for one hour.

Let the bread cool for about 15 minutes then take a couple of tablespoons of margarine and put over the top.  I usually just take a dab of margarine, stab it with a fork and run it over the top of the warm bread.  It melts and makes the bread even more yummy.

Let me know if you give it a try!

So now you know  :-)
