In honor of being in PA over Memorial Day weekend, I am going to share my Mom's FAMOUS banana bread recipe with you! I just LOVE it! Sisterr and I grew up eating this as an after school snack, for breakfast or really, whenever! It's good with peanut butter or cream cheese. But I believe it's best with nothing on it!
Enjoy!
Mom's Famous Banana Bread
- 1/3 c butter or margarine, soft-not melted
- 1 c sugar
- 2 eggs, room temp works best
- 3 ripe bananas (small to medium work best), mashed
- 1t baking soda
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/3 c milk
- 1t lemon juice or vinegar
- 2c all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Liberally grease 9X5 loaf pan.
- Add lemon or vinegar to milk and set aside to curdle.
- Cream butter and sugar then gradually add the eggs one at a time. It's OK if the eggs turn some of the butter into small lumps but this won't happen if the eggs are room temperature. Beat until well combined.
- Mix in the bananas then the soda and salt.
- Add the flour and milk alternately.
- Stir well after each addition.
- Add nuts or chips if desired.
- Pour into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour or until the bread springs back when lightly touched in the center.
- Cool in pan on wire rack.
The bread will have a better flavor if allowed to sit overnight before eating.
