Great Grandmas Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cream butter, sugar & eggs. Add salt & baking soda; mix well. Beat in the bananas. Add the flour. Stir in nuts if using.
• 2. Pour into a LARGE buttered loaf pan (mine measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" on the bottom, 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" on the top, 2 3/4" tall.) If pan is not big enough, it will not cook all the way in the center. If you have a smaller pan, don't use all the batter in one pan. The recipe says to let sit at room temp. For 20 min. I never do.
• 3. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45- 60 min., until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5-10 minutes before loosening sides and inverting, letting it cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
• 4. Great out of the oven, even better the next day, if it doesn't get eaten first! Wrap up after it cools completely to keep it moist.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• Combine sugar, butter, bananas, eggs, flour, baking soda, milk, salt and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl; beat well. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Steps:

• Cream sugar and shortening.
• Add eggs, lemon juice, and mashed bananas. Beat well.
• Add sour milk.
• Sift flour with salt and baking powder and slowly add to mixture. Mix well.
• Add chopped nuts.
• Dissolve the baking soda in hot water and pour into the mixture. Stir.
• Pour into a well-greased dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 4 minutes.
• Decrease the oven temperature to 350 degreed and bake until done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Blend this mixture into the egg mixture, alternately with the buttermilk; stir just to combine. Fold in the mashed bananas; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes our clean, about 60 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• 2. Cream together sugar, shortening, and eggs in a large mixing bowl or mixer.
• 3. Add flour mixture and sour cream alternately to the creamed mixture.
• 4. Add the mashed bananas and nuts once everything is well incorporated.
• 5. Pour into loaf pans or bundt pan that have been sprayed with non-stick spray and bake at 325 oven for about 45 minutes or until toothpick stuck into center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease a bread pan.
• Cream surage and shortening. Mix in eggs and vanilla.
• Blend in the dry ingredients and then the mashed bananas.
• Pour into the bread pan and bake for 50-60 minutes at 300 degrees.
• Note: I usually bake this in a medium sized casserole pan. Just watch the cooking time. It should be done in about 40-50 minutes.
