MOIST AND DELICIOUS BANANA BREAD
This is the best banana bread I have ever had. I buy really ripe bananas just so I can make this :-) Got the recipe years ago from my friend Rachel. We used to beg her to make this for us in college! I think the moistness is due to the 1/2 cup of oil - I didn't say it was the healthiest banana bread around, but it is worth the extra time on the treadmill!

VERY MOIST BANANA NUT BREAD
This is a very easy, "no mixer" bread to make. It is very moist and a little heavy type banana bread. The really important thing to remember is using all black bananas to get my same results. I always use 5 medium sized bananas and this recipe makes 2 loaves. Also, I've never used buttermilk, but sour milk instead..a little vinegar added to regular milk. I've used this recipe since 1972 and last year made 32 loaves to give away for Christmas! It's truly a wonderful bread. I only bake it until the toothpick comes out almost clean, as we like it really moist. If you over bake it, or wait til the toothpick is completely clean, the bread will be a lot dryer. I realize some like it this way, so thats why I've given this hint. My family and friends would rather have it a little under done than over. It's so good with coffee, butter/jelly or I like mine just plain. I bake it in tin foil pans and it freezes wonderfully. I try to always have one or two in the freezer for company, or a little gift. This recipe came from a ladies club cookbook. The kind where everyone contributes recipes, they are made into a recipe book and sold to make money for charities. All the cooks are just plain "down home" country gals that produce miracles in the kitchen. It's my favorite cookbook and I've almost worn it out and it can't be replaced. I know there are many banana bread recipes here, so thanks for trying this recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:

- Dissolve soda in buttermilk-- use a larger container as it will foam up quite a bit.
- Mix all ingredients by hand and add in 1 cup chopped nuts. Bake at 350° for 1 hour, or until toothpick comes out ALMOST clean.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While your oven is heating, grease a loaf pan (9×5-inch).
- Using a large bowl, mix the sugar and butter together. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and lemon juice to the mixture and mix together well.
- In another bowl, combine the baking soda, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a whisk, mix it together thoroughly.
- Add dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until smooth. Do not overmix.
- Mash your bananas with a potato masher or fork. You can also use a hand mixer if you want your bananas to be extra smooth, but don't overmix them.
- Fold the bananas, walnuts, and sour cream (the banana mixture) into the other mixture. Gently fold it in without overmixing.
- Spread the mixture into your greased loaf pan.
- Bake your banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-60 minutes. Use the toothpick test to see if it comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the loaf. That's how you know your banana bread is done.
- When your toothpick is clean, open the oven door and turn off the oven. Allow the banana bread to sit in the oven with the oven door open for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove your banana bread from the oven. Allow it to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan.
- Place the banana bread on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.

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 incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent large chunks of banana from appearing in your bread.
- Use a combination of sugars. Using both granulated sugar and brown sugar will give your banana bread a more complex flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your banana bread tough.
- Bake the banana bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the bread to set and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
These are just a few tips to help you make the best banana bread possible. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a moist, flavorful banana bread that your friends and family will love.
