A little 'Lovin' from my Oven

Our favorite Banana Nut Bread is a yummy 'True and Tried' recipe.

It is a good thing our glass cake saver lid is a bit heavy, so I think twice...

before going back for another slice!

Favorite Banana Pecan Bread

Ingredients:
4 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup buttermilk ( OR 2/3 cup milk with 1 ½ tablespoon vinegar added... Let it set a couple minutes until it starts to curdle.)
2 cup vegetable oil
2- 2 1/2 cups mashed bananas Use the ripest bananas you can find!
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups white sugar
~
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 to ½ cups coarsley chopped pecans (optional)
Directions:
*Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray 2 loaf pans with non-stick spray coating and lightly flour. I have a hard time getting them out of the pan, unless I use the flour. (I made one loaf and 6 mini loafs)
*In  a bowl add the cup of milk, soda and baking powder...it will start to foam. This works really well if you use the vinegar method to sour the milk.
*Blend together the eggs, buttermilk OR soured milk, oil, vanilla and bananas.
*Add the sugar, flour, and salt. When well blended , stir in the pecans.
*Pour into prepared the prepared loaf pans and bake 1 hour and about 10 minutes for the large loaf until a tooth pick comes out clean. (I kept checking the mini loafs.)

Your home will smell so good and the bread is so moist and delicious.

  "Nothing can compete with the aroma and flavor of homemade breads."

They look so pretty and make great little gifts. I made these for my friends I check in on and visit every month.   I do hope you will try the recipe and then let me know what you think.
