As the weather cools and the leaves start to change, there are certain traditions that happen. One of those are the fall recipes. There’s nothing better than a cozy dessert to warm your heart during the chilly season. One of my favorite recipes is banana bread. It has been a staple in my house for a long time.
Best Ever Banana Bread:
1 & 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 & 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 medium, ripe bananas, mashed (1 cup)
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup +1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, bananas, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla; add flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in nuts.
Pour into a greased 9” x 5” loaf pan. Bake at 325 for one hour and 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf
