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!

MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD
I got this recipe when I was 12 and have used it for the past 33 years and haven't found one better! My son used it when he was 12 at the California State Fair and won a first place ribbon with it. It is just simply delicious & moist. I either make a loaf or put it into muffin cups & make muffins for my kids to grab in the morning on their way to school. Using margarine makes the muffins come out in a better form, but the butter has a better flavor, so I usually use 1/2 of each to get the best of both worlds.

Steps:
- Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
- *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!

MOIST BANANA BREAD! - DAIRY FREE
A long time family favorite, everybody will ask for the recipe! The banana bread has minimal ingredients but is light, moist and delicious! It freezes well! I have adjusted the recipe to 3/4 cup sugar based on the feedback reviews, a test bake and a permanent adjustment to my recipe! I toss overripe banana's in the freezer until I have enough. I always double the recipe and sometimes add walnuts or chocolate chips (approx 1/2 cup, unmeasured, I just dump). Baking time may take between 1 hr - 1hr 15 minutes. Less if you want to make muffins or mini-loafs. Test with a toothpick should be clean if cooked through.

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:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F., 375 degrees F. if oven runs hot. Chop pecans.
- 2. Put flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
- 3. Mix sugar and butter together on medium until creamy. Add eggs one at a time. Add yogurt and extract. Mash bananas. Now, add bananas and then stir in nuts.
- 4. Spray one or two 9x4 pans. One makes a very big, tall loaf and two makes an average size loaf of bread. I usually make two. Pour into greased pans.
- 5. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. My cook at 375 if your oven runs hot.
- 6. Cool on racks for about 5 to 10 minutes, remove from pans and continue to cool on racks.
Tips:
- Use very ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can even use bananas that are starting to turn brown.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to create a moist and tender loaf of bread.
- Use melted butter: Melted butter will help to keep your banana bread moist. You can also use vegetable oil, but melted butter will give your bread a richer flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake the bread at a higher temperature, it will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a moist and flavorful loaf of banana bread that will be the perfect addition to your next breakfast, brunch, or snack. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give one of these banana bread recipes a try!
