Banana Bread


This is my mom's recipe which I am sure was handed down to her from her mom. I now make it regularly and when I share it everyone wants the recipe. My husband and I like to use banana bread as a breakfast item but it can be used as an appetizer for a party or other occasion. My favorite way to eat Banana bread is toasted with butter, the bread gets a little crispy and the butter melts and soaks into the bread, VERY yummy! :)

3 Bananas (mashed)
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup margarine or butter (softened)
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Cream margarine and sugar. Add mashed bananas, vanilla and stir. Add flour, baking soda, and baking powder, mix throuughly and then add nuts. Pour batter into greased loaf pan. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until toothpick in center comes out clean.
Let bread cool and then place in ziplock bag in refridgerator. I have found that the bread cuts a lot easier if it has been in the refridgerator for a while.
