The original of this recipe came from The Family Circle Encyclopedia of Cooking. I have modified it to our likes. It makes the fluffiest and best Banana bread I have ever had. We love it. Makes one very large loaf or 12 muffins. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |
1 cup sugar |
3 eggs |
1 cup banana, mashed (approx. 3 medium bananas) |
1/2 cup ground pecans (or pieces if you like better) |
1 cup chocolate chips (optional) |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and set aside.
3. Grease a 9 X 5 X 3 inch loaf pan.
4. Beat butter, sugar and eggs in a large bowl until light and fluffy; stir in bananas.
5. Stir in flour mixture; fold in pecans.
6. Pour into prepared pan.
7. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.
