BANANA NUT BREAD



BANANA NUT BREAD  (Betty Crocker)
From Judi Troyer

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease bottoms of loaf pans (I prefer to use the small or mini loaf pans).
Recipe works for 1 9x5x3 or 2  8 1/2x4 1/2 x 2 1/2.  I use about 5 minis.

2 1/2 cups flour (Gold Medal unbleached)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed  (I use dark)
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3  T. vegetable oil
1/3 cup milk
2-3 medium bananas
1 egg
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans)

Mix ingredients. Beat 30 seconds. (When JoAnna and I did this together, we learned it tastes better
if you don't beat, but just fold things together, similar to when you make muffins.)

Pour batter into pans and bake until toothpick  or table knife inserted in center comes out clean,
about 55-60 minutes or so.

Cool slightly; loosen sides of loaf from pan. Cool completely before slicing.  To store, wrap and
refrigerate no longer than a week. (They also freeze well.)

Serve with butter or cream cheese.
