Banana Bread

Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 325

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup sugar
1 stick margarine or butter
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup chopped nuts
2 Tbsp. buttermilk

Blend first 3 ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bake 1 hour 20-30 minutes or when toothpick comes out clean.

****NOTE: I bake bread 1 hour then loosely cover the top with aluminum foil so it won't burn & bake the remaining time. Also, to pack more vitamins in, change the 2 cups of all-purpose flour to: 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 cup whole wheat flour. Then, substitute 1 mashed ripe banana for 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana and 1/2 cup pureed sweet potato!****
