I made this recipe this morning and Hubby and I really enjoyed it with our lunch.
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp orange peel
1/8 tsp ground cloves
3 very ripe large bananas
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
Cream the butter with a mixer until it is smooth. Beat in the sugar until well blended then add the eggs. Mix for a minute or two. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the nuts) and beat until smooth. Add the nuts and stir those in. Place in a greased loaf pan.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree (F) oven for an hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pan and then place on a wire rack and finish cooling.
I could smell it the minute I saw it in my google reader 🙂
I love banana bread! I think I should start a food blog just with links !
Hey, I said I liked pear jam didn’t I – and now I have to try this as it sounds delicious 🙂
oh man, i could sure use some of that right about now! I’m SO swamped at work!
Tasty tasty,
can you use less sugar and add som fresh strawberries? Or vanilla?
Great food post
I love banana bread too. I will definitely try this on the weekend! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Mmmmm! We always seem to have ripe bananas around here to use up and I like that this recipe uses three at one go. Nice spices in there too – I’ve never tried those in banana bread.
Hope you’re feeling better!
