GRANDMA'S BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Blend this mixture into the egg mixture, alternately with the buttermilk; stir just to combine. Fold in the mashed bananas; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes our clean, about 60 minutes.

JOYCE'S UNBEATABLE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Grease and flour one regular loaf pan or two small loaf pans.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and shortening. Cut shortening in as for pie crust (I use a pastry blender.).
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sliced bananas until mixed well.
• Add banana mixture to shortening mixture and mix well.
• Place batter in prepared pan(s).
• Bake approximately 30 minutes.
• Tip: I usually use the toothpick test, but the toothpick should not come out completely clean. This is a very moist recipe, so look for the toothpick or knife to be mostly clean. When the bread is done, it will be a dark brown and should have a slight crack down the middle.

• In a large mixing bowl cream the butter.
• Add in the sugar and cream the sugar and butter together using medium speed. Will be light and fluffy.
• Add in the eggs and buttermilk. Mix until combined.
• Mash bananas and add into the batter.
• In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir to mix. Slowly add to the wet ingredients while mixing.
• Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for approximately 30 minutes covered with loosely with foil. Remove then continue baking for an additional 30 minutes or until fully cooked, top will be a golden brown. (foil helps to prevent too much browning)

GRANDMA'S BANANA NUT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the bananas and stir gently to combine. Add the flour mixture and stir until completely blended. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the walnuts.
• Divide the mixture into the two loaf pans. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the loaves begin to get too dark before they are done in the middle, cover with foil. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. The bread can be stored, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, at room temperature for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap in plastic wrap then in aluminum foil and freezer for up to 3 months.
