Grandma's Famous Banana Bread

     Grandma's Famous Banana Bread   

This is hands down my FAVORITE recipe I have. It's been in the family for years. Since Grandma has gotten older, she can no longer make this bread. I memorized the recipe and for some reason, mine turns out better than when anyone else makes it.  Grandma blessed me with her gift I guess. The secrets out. Once you make this, you will be addicted. Guaranteed. 

You will need:
2 ripened (Like, almost black) Bananas, smashed with potato masher or fork
1 Stick Margarine (I like the imperial kind, it's cheap) 
 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 eggs
 1 and 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
3/4 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
Nuts (Optional. I've used walnuts before-pretty tasty! But Grandma never used nuts)


1. Smash your bananas a lot into a small cereal bowl and set aside. You want them very mushy & no chunks.



2.  Completely melt stick of margarine, add sugar and stir until combined. 



3. Stir in eggs until combined



4. Stir in mashed up bananas



5. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Batter will be thick but pourable. 



6. Grease a loaf pan liberally with pam or something..if you don't have the spray, take a stick of butter from the package and coat the pan liberally :) 



  Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until brown & a knife comes out clean when you poke it. I baked this one at 6:30 & it was perfect by 7:10. 


 Enjoy!!!!
