I love banana bread and have been trying to find a good recipe. Most were just ok until I stumbled upon this one. Made it yesterday. Only thing I did differently was to coat the pan with cinnamon sugar before pouring the batter into the pan. I didn't have a 9x5 loaf pan, used two 8x4 loaf pans. I think that was probably better because lots of times the big one doesn't get real well done in the center for me. I really liked this recipe, hope you will too.
Q's Banana Bread
3 large ripe bananas
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
4 tablespoons butter (melted and cooled)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts or both (i used a tad more)
Mix all together and set aside.
1-1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Mix together, add to above mixture and pour into a 9 by 5 loaf pan, lightly greased.
Topping:
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans or both
1/2 cup brown sugar
Mix together and sprinkle over loaf.
Bake 325 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes. She said sometimes it takes longer. Press down on top of loaf; it's done when no longer "soft" -- her words!
