This is my grandmother’s banana bread recipe, but I have changed it a bit to fit MY tastes. It can also be made in muffin tins, but it’s a 2 loaf recipe, so it makes LOTS of muffins. I am highly allergic to walnuts so I am always looking for recipes with pecans. This is a winner. I keep a bag of pecans in the freezer so I always have them on hand and the freezer keeps them fresh. The recipe calls for sour milk. I have substituted this a few different ways and they have been fine. Try using 1/4 cup fat free half and half and 1/4 cup fat free sour cream or plain yogurt. I did some research and the traditional substitute for sour milk is evaporated milk and vinegar, but that sounds gross to me. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
2 eggs, beaten |
4 large ripe bananas, mashed |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup sour milk |
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice |
1 cup pecans, chopped |
Directions:
1. Grease and flour 2 bread pans. 2. Preheat oven to 375°. 3. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. 4. Transfer batter into pans. 5. Bake 1 hour. 6. Check center with toothpick to determined doneness. 7. Makes 2 large loaves. |
