Great Grandma's Banana Bread
This family recipe was handed down to me by my great grandmother and I love how it uses ingredients we have on hand. I think my kids purposefully don't eat bananas so that I'll make it!
Ingredients
- 1 c. vegetable oil
- 2 c. sugar
- 4 eggs
- 8 bananas mashed
- 4 c. flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cups broken walnuts optional
Instructions
- Beat oil and sugar together.
- Add eggs and beat.
- Add bananas to a gallon sized ziplock back and mash. After they are mashed, cut a tip of the bag open and add to your mixture.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, milk and vanilla. Mix to a smooth batter. Add nuts (if desired).
- Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until center of loaf is done.
- I’ve always made this in the smaller mini-loaf pans (muffin tins would work too). If you are going to make in a regular loaf pan, you will want to cook for longer or until the dough is cooked through.
