Granny's Banana Nut Bread - easy! image

My brothers & I used to argue over who would get the last piece of this bread, it was soo good. If you butter a slice & put it under the broiler or in the microwave, just until the butter melts, (unless you like it crispy) it is so good!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c shortening, butter flavor
3/4 c sugar or splenda
2 c flour (i use 1/2 wheat & 1/2 cake flour)
2 eggs (or egg beaters with yolk)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c buttermilk
1/2-3/4 c nuts broken in pcs. (i use pecans)
1/2 tsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Using Pam, spray a loaf pan, or you can make a smaller version in a bundt pan (it's cute). Get large bowl & cream the sugar and shortening until blended well. In a small bowl, mash together the sliced up bananas & eggs. (Break the yoke if using real eggs and mix them a little before adding to the bananas). Pour the egg mixure in the sugar/shortening mix and blend well.
  • 2. In medium bowl stir dry ingredients together. Stir in the flour & buttermilk alternately, to the banana mixture, until blended. Stir in desired amount of nuts. Pour into pregreased loaf (or bundt) pan & bake in preheated oven, until toothpick comes out clean.
  • 3. My grandmother said to cook it 55 minutes, but I've found often it doesn't take that long. It's better to start checking it after 30 minutes, to avoid drying it out. I take it out as soon as the toothpick comes out clean, and let it cool on a thick straw coaster on the counter. After @ 15-20 minutes it'll still melt butter, so dig in and enjoy! :) You can also play around with spices or some ingreds, I added a cup of coconut & some ginger last time I made it & doubled the recipe to fill a bundt pan & it was really good, so don't be afraid to try new things, or sizes with it! The single recipe makes a cute little round breakfast type cake, in a bundt pan, to have with coffee too.

I'm going to try this recipe in my new air fryer. I wonder how well it will cook my banana nut bread.

I'd love to try this gluten-free banana nut bread recipe. I just need to be sure to use certified gluten-free ingredients.

This recipe didn't work for me at all. My banana nut bread was too dry and crumbly. I'm not sure if I'll give it another try.

I'm not sure I got the measurements right because my banana nut bread was a little too dense. I might try halving the amount of flour next time.

My banana nut bread was a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add an extra half cup of mashed banana next time.

This recipe is so versatile! I've used it to make banana nut bread muffins, banana nut bread pound cake, and banana nut bread French toast.

I store my banana nut bread in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. It also keeps well in the fridge for up to a week.

I used a mix of white and dark brown sugar in my banana nut bread. It gave the bread a slightly caramelized crust.

I baked my banana nut bread in a convection oven at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes. It cooked to perfection!

I'm trying to cut down on sugar, so I used half the amount of sugar called for in the recipe. My banana nut bread was still plenty sweet and flavorful.

I made this vegan banana nut bread by substituting the eggs for flaxseed. It was a hit with my vegan and gluten-free friends!

I froze a few slices of my banana nut bread and reheated them in the microwave the next day. It was almost as good as if I had baked a fresh slice!

I let my banana nut bread cool completely before slicing it. This made it extra moist and dense.

I baked my banana nut bread in a mini bundt cake pan. It cooked perfectly and it looked so cute and professional when it came out of the oven!

I added a few chopped nuts to the batter for a little extra crunch. It was a great addition and I highly recommend it.

My kids love this banana nut bread! They always ask for seconds. I love that I can use up my overripe nanas in a healthy and delicious way.

I was a bit skeptical about a recipe that only required 2 eggs, but I was so glad I gave it a chance. My banana nut bread was light and airy, a great addition to my breakfast table.

I've tried many banana nut bread recipes before, but this is the only one I'll use from now on. It's so moist and flavorful, with the perfect amount of sweetness.

I'm not much of a baker, but this recipe was so easy to follow! My banana nut bread turned out perfectly and everyone at my party loved it.
