Ever buy a bunch of bananas only to have them go bad? Well you don’t have to waste them. Try this recipe and still make use of those brown mushy bananas!
My mom used to make this for me all the time when I was younger and the smell of the fresh bread out of the oven always brings back happy childhood memories. Here is the recipe that my mom has used for years. The cookbook we have is from 1968 and opens directly up to the recipe because she hasn’t ever made anything else from it.
I never actually use the walnuts in the recipe because I don’t care for them and I don’t like the crunch but it is totally up to your own preference.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. I actually put my oven on 400 degrees because it doesn’t get as hot and put on the convection setting so the bread will bake all the way through instead of not cooking in the center all the way.
Your first step is to cream the butter. Okay… so at 1st I didn’t know what this meant (I’m really blonde sometimes) but you put a stick of butter in the microwave to make it mushy. Don’t melt it though, so only put it in there for about 15 seconds or less.
Next add it to a bowl and beat while adding a cup of sugar to it. It’ll start to look like the picture below…
Next, crack open two eggs and add them to the butter/sugar mixture. Then, you can add the mushy bananas and beat them in with the mix.
Next up, add a dash of salt. So, this is an older cookbook so I really didn’t know how to measure a “dash” so just sprinkle some into the palm of your hand and add it to the bowl.
This is a fairly simple recipe, so next add the two cups of flour and one teaspoon of baking soda.
Once everything is beat together in your mixture, grease and flour your pan and get ready to add it all in.
The recipe says to bake for 40 to 50 minutes, but I ended up baking mine for almost a whole hour because my oven can be funky sometimes. My outside baked really well but my inside stayed sort of mushy and I had to keep checking it. Eventually I put the convection setting on and it helped my bread bake all the way through.
Take your bread out of the pan, let it cool and enjoy!
