EXTREME BANANA NUT BREAD ‘EBNB’

This is my mom’s dense, excellent, and definitely unhealthy banana nut bread recipe. It’s always completely gone in minutes. This is great at parties, but hazardous at home. HEALTH WARNINGS: EBNB may be habit forming. A very flexible recipe that will accommodate changes based on what you have on hand. Use any type of fat in place of the butter, such as shortening or oil. It works with either brown or white sugar too.

This is a great recipe for banana bread! What I love about it is its intense flavor. It’s is unlike most banana breads in that it is very dense and quite moist. You can taste the butter in this bread along with the bananas–it practically melts in your mouth! My house smelled so YUMMY as the loaves baked. My family and I went through both loaves in just two days.

REDUCED FAT variety!! Holy COW is this GOOD!It’s scary good! I have never in my life had better banana nut bread!

To Make this Recipe You’ll Need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

1 2/3 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 c and 4 teaspoons of butter
1 2/3 c white sugar
1 2/3 c mashed overripe bananas
3 eggs beaten
3/4 c and 4 teaspoons chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9×5 inch loaf pans.

2. SIft the flour, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter or margarine and sugar until smooth. Mix in the bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and stir until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two loafs.

4. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack, and cool completely.

5. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture. Ideally, refrigerate the loaves for two hours or more before serving. TIP: Do not taste or cut the loaves in advance.
