banana bread with the pops.

sunday, june 2nd

banana bread.

tonight my papa joined me for sunday baking. usually i don't let anyone join in but he's definitely an exception. i'm trying to learn all i can from my moms and pops while i'm still under their roof. this recipe is a keeper. it's perfect for when the last few bananas of the bunch hang for days on the banana hook. this one is going in the book so #myhubbybetterbeready. 

banana bread

1 c. sugar

2 c. flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 c. butter

2 eggs

3 ripe bananas (speckled or brown skinned)

2 tbsp. buttermilk or sour cream

1 tsp. vanilla

2/3 c. chopped walnuts or pecans

combine dry ingredients with butter and blend well with electric mixer. add eggs, bananas, and beat at high speed for 2 minutes. fold in buttermilk, vanilla and nuts. bake in greased and floured loaf pan at 350 for 1 hour. 

we left out the nuts (i'm glad we share the love of non crunchy banana bread) and baked it in two smaller loaf pans for only 45 minutes. it turned out perfect!
