Banana Bread Recipe..Plus Bag Winner

Banana bread...

 


...a fall treat that's easy and satisfying.

 


Well, the winner of my 2 Year Bag-i-versary bag is Riet...

(Riet...please send your mailing address to me at heather(dot)woollove(at)gmail.com)

...and for the rest of you, here's a sweet recipe to try!

BANANA BREAD

1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 very ripe bananas
2 eggs
1 &  1/4 c flour
1/2 c chopped pecans or walnuts

Cream butter and sugar.
Add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
Spread into greased 10 X 13-inch pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes.
Enjoy!

Note:I buy extra bananas and let them get overly ripe, then pop them into the freezer for later use.

Heather, I think Riet is away for a few day, so don't worry if you don't hear from her just yet!
Love, Mattie

Heather Woollove said...

Mattie--Thanks for letting me know! (I hope it will be a nice 'welcome home' for her after her travels!)

Kelly said...

Yeah Riet! I know she will be thrilled!!

WonderWhyGal said...

Congrats to Riet!

That bread looks delicious. I recently found a way to make my breads the gluten-free way. I had pumpkin the other day...and it was amazing. Now to skip off to figure out how to modify my recipe so I can have banana bread because yours looks delicious.

Heather Woollove said...

Kelly--I HOPE so!! She was a bit disturbed by the 'disappearing dye'...so I hope she's 'over it' by now! Giggle.
Andrea--Oh, I hope you can modify it for your use.
It's such a plain and satisfying treat.

Tamara Miller said...

I am definitely going to try this recipe! I love bananas.

Heather Woollove said...

Tamara--I like this recipe because it makes a big pan full...and gets cooked all the way through in a short time, unlike some loaf pan ones.

Melissa Plank said...

How lucky for the bag-i-versary winner, that bag is awesome! I am going to try the banana bread recipe later today, I have some over ripe bananas in the freezer right now, it looks so yummy!

Heather Woollove said...

Thanks, Melissa! I hope you will enjoy the banana bread as much as I do!!

It's always nice when the giveaway winner is someone who regularly reads the blog, isn't it?

Thanks for the banana bread recipe. I'm going to add it to my wish list -- the husband has been baking on the weekends, a strange but welcome new occurrence :-)

FeltersJourney said...

Mmmm yum - shall have to try this banana bread!

Congrats Riet :) And happy Blog-i-versary to you Heather xx

Heather Woollove said...

Mary--How lovely...your own Alton Brown!!
Deborah--Thanks! I made another batch of banana bread today (quality control, of course...not 'cause I'm greedy!). :)

Spinster Beth said...

I like to put bittersweet chocolate morsels in my banana bread ;)

Heather Woollove said...

Beth---Oooooh, yum! I sometimes make a banana snack cake recipe from an ancient Pillsbury Cookbook that calls for chocolate chips. This one is much more pedestrian...but nice and 'banana-y'.
:)
