GRANDMA'S BEST EVER BANANA NUT BREAD



Grandma's Best Ever Banana Nut Bread image

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.

Tips for Making the Greatest Banana Nut Bread Ever:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or a pear.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly. The more thoroughly you mash the bananas, the smoother your banana nut bread will be. You can use a fork, a potato masher, or even a blender to mash the bananas.
  • Use a combination of flours. Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour will give your banana nut bread a more complex flavor and texture. You can also use gluten-free flour, if you prefer.
  • Add chopped nuts. Chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds are all great additions to banana nut bread. You can also use a mixture of nuts, if you like.
