Mom's Famous Banana Bread

Growing up, my mom used to make this banana bread ALL the time. It as a family favorite then and still is today! I have several banana bread recipes, but this is the one I always turn to when I want the best! Today I'm sharing it with you! Aren't you lucky?!

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 very ripe bananas (like brown and mushy to the point of throwing them away)
1/3 cup margarine, shortening or butter
2 tbsp milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Step One: Mix all dry ingredients.

Step Two: Add all wet ingredients except for eggs. When that is all creamed, add eggs. If using nuts, add them last.

Step Three: Pour batter into lightly greased bread pan.

Step Four: Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool about 30 minutes before slicing and eating.

Try not to eat the whole loaf in one sitting!
Enjoy! Tomorrow, we'll be exploring the realm of Cindy's Tollhouse Cookies with special ingredient, Frango Mint chocolate chips. mmmmm
