EXTREME BANANA NUT BREAD 'EBNB'
This is my mom's dense, excellent, and definitely unhealthy banana nut bread recipe. It's always completely gone in minutes. This is great at parties, but hazardous at home. HEALTH WARNINGS: EBNB may be habit forming. A very flexible recipe that will accommodate changes based on what you have on hand. Use any type of fat in place of the butter, such as shortening or oil. It works with either brown or white sugar too.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter or margarine and sugar until smooth. Stir in the bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and stir just until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
- Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, 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 in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture. Ideally, refrigerate the loaves for 2 hours or more before serving.

EXTREME BANANA BREAD
Extreme Banana Bread (Not For the Faint of Heart...) I don't know which one of the Seven Deadly Sins I'd be, but there are definitely elements of greed ("I want it all!") and gluttony ("More!! More!!") in this recipe. With a basic banana bread at its base, I just kept finding elements I thought would add to and complement the flavors: walnuts, apples, brown sugar and cinnamon streusel, almond extract (my personal fave - I want to bath in it!), but it was the purchase of blueberries for a blueberry peach pie that really lit up my idea light bulb. I know what you're all saying - it's too much! That, my friends, is the reason for the warning. (See recipe title) If you, like me, like more - more flavor, more substance, more sweetness - this is the banana bread for you, extreme banana bread. If you're watching your sugar or your waistline, I'm thinking you might want to graze elsewhere. If not, prepare this and be prepared to enjoy the heck out of yourself!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prep loaf pan - grease with spray, shortening or butter.
- Prepare streusel topping: Blend dry ingredients together. Add almond extract, then cut in butter until mixture is soft and crumbly. Set aside.
- Prepare bread batter: In large bowl combine 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add mashed banana, almond extract, butter or shortening and milk. Mix with spoon until well blended. Add eggs, remaining flour and oats. Beat until blended. Add apples, walnuts and blueberries and fold batter lightly to distribute. (Be careful not to break berries.).
- Pour half of batter into prepared loaf pan. Break up and crumble 2 tablespoons of streusel mixture over top, then add remaining batter to pan. Cover with remaining streusel.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 55-65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Makes 1 loaf (16 servings) [Oh, who're we kidding: it makes 1 big serving...].
- The banana bread is good warm or cold, but do yourself a favor and have a slice about 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven!

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
- Use a combination of nuts: Using a variety of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, and almonds, will give your banana nut bread a more complex flavor and texture.
- Add chocolate chips or other mix-ins: Feel free to get creative and add your favorite mix-ins to your banana nut bread, such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, or even peanut butter.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Banana nut bread is a classic quick bread that is easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With its moist, flavorful crumb and crunchy nuts, it's the perfect snack or breakfast treat. So next time you have a few ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
