Banana Nut Bread- 2 loaves
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups white sugar
2 cups mashed overripe bananas
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour two 9×5 inch loaf pans. Sift the flour, salt and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in the bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, add vanilla, and stir just until blended.
Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack, and cool completely. Wrap tightly to keep in the moisture.
