Some common ingredients in banana bread include flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and of course, bananas. Other ingredients, such as nuts, chocolate chips, or spices, can also be added to the batter. Banana bread can be baked in a loaf pan, or in muffin tins.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD
We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

GRANDMA'S BEST EVER BANANA NUT BREAD
This is dark, rich and moist. It is sweet and flavorful and I am told unlike any other people have tasted. Some liken it Mimi's Cafe, but say it is better. My mother, Belen, who passed away at the age of 100 had been making this for as long as I can remember. Please follow the instructions regarding putting the vinegar in the milk in one cup and the baking soda in warm water in another before mixing it with other ingredients. It makes a difference.

Steps:
- preheat your oven to 350 degrees, grease a 13X9 pan, then peel your bananas and mash them in a small bowl, set aside. next take out a large bowl and put the vegetable oil in, gradually add the sugar, stirring after each addition. then add the eggs and stir until thoroughly combined and slightly fluffy. then you mix in the mashed bananas, set this mixture aside. combine all of the dry ingredients in one bowl stirring until everything is mixed in, then gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix. (the mix will be a little dry, so don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong!) next add the milk (or half & half) and the vanilla.* stir the mixture and then pour into the pan. sometimes when I make this recipe there's a little bit too much batter in the bowl, so make sure that you don't fill the pan too full! it only needs to come up slightly above the half way point. I usually make a few muffins out of the extra.
- cooking time:.
- bread: 50-60 minute or until knife stuck into the middle comes out clean.
- muffins: 20-25 minute or until the edges pull away from the pan.
- *I like to mix a cup of chocolate chips in at this point but if you would like to add blueberry's or nuts that's okay too.

- 2. THEN ADD THE 2 EGGS AND 3 MASHED BANANAS to the above mixture and blend well.
- 3. IN SEPERATE BOWL ADD BAKING SODA PLUS THE FLOUR, SIFT AND MIX.
- 4. ADD THE DRY INGREDIENTS TO THE CREAMED MIXTURE (OF SUGAR, SALT, BUTTER AND THE BANANA MIXTURE)MIX ALL UNTIL JUST WELL BLENDED THEN ADD THE CHOPPED NUTS.

Do not overbake and start checking with toothpick as soon as it starts looking brown which will be around an hr. I like to drizzle a little powered sugar frosting over the top while it is still warm, or just spread a little butter over the top instead. I prefer, the drizzle of frosting; however. It is wonderful bread and the best banana bread I have ever eaten. My grandmother clipped it out of the Omaha World Herald newspaper around 1958.

Steps:
- Heat an oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottoms of two 8 x 4 inches loaf pans. In large bowl, mix sugar and butter. Add eggs, bananas (increase recipe by one banana), buttermilk and vanilla; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt and nuts (if using) until the mixture becomes moistened. Distribute the batter evenly into the two pans. Bake for one hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans to cooling rack. Let the bread cool for about an hour before slicing.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Mash the bananas well. This will help to create a smooth, even batter.
- Add a variety of mix-ins. Chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, and spices are all great additions to banana bread.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
