Hey Kitty, looks like this weekend should be a good weekend for some baking! Here is the receipe I use for banana nut bread/muffins/mini loaves.

1/2 c butter (1 stick) softened room temp
1 c sugar(I do use splenda and half it)
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all purpose flour( I do sift mine)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 c chopped walnuts
3 ripe bananas

Preheat oven to 350 degree. Grease your loaf/muffin/mini loaf pan. In your mixing bowl combine butter and sugar mixing well. Add the salt, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and bananas mixing well. Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes.

I don't mix my batter that way. I mix my butter and sugar first and then add in my mashed bananas. Next I add in my eggs and vanilla and then I add in my dry things. Lastly I mix in the walnuts. I don't use a mixer just a fork to mash the banana to the butter/sugar mixture. I use a rubber spatuala(think mixing thing you'd use to frost a cake) and stir from the bottom of the bowl to the top.

I don't have my cookbook in front of me, but here goes (I'm making it tonight).

1 cup sugar and one stick soft butter mixed til smooth. Add 2-3 mashed really ripe bananas and mix. Add two eggs that have been whisked. Add 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt and mix. Add 1/2 cup choice of nuts. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes in a greased and floured bread pan. Cool and release from pan. Serve warm if you like, but we prefer the taste better the next day at room temp.

Here's my go to recipe from Southern Living:

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (1 1/4 pounds unpeeled bananas, about 4 medium)
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in bananas, pecans, and vanilla. Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 8- x 4-inch loafpans.

Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and sides pull away from pan, shielding with aluminum foil last 15 minutes to prevent browning, if necessary. Cool bread in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool 30 minutes on wire racks before slicing.

This is my go-to recipe, from Allrecipes:

Ingredients
5 very ripe bananas
4 eggs
1 cup shortening
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease 2 - 9x5 inch loaf pans. In a medium bowl, mash bananas and stir in the eggs until well blended. Set aside.

2. In large bowl, beat shortening and gradually add sugar. Stir in vanilla and banana mixture. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; blend into batter. Add walnuts if desired. Divide between the prepared pans.

3. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I couldn't pass this thread up! This is my all time favorite banana bread recipe. It's from "Cooking with Mickey"- It's the original recipe from the Monorail Cafe at the Disneyland Hotel. Makes 2 very dark moist loaves. ( a hint on the bananas - freeze them first. When you're ready to bake bread thaw them, cut off the ends and squeeze out the banana. They are already mashed, have no strings and a much more intense flavor)

2 sticks butter (melted)
1/4 tsp vanilla
2 C sugar
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp water
3 C flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 C mashed bananas
1 C chopped walnuts

Mix butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Add mashed bananas. fold in the dry ingredients until the flour is moist - don't over mix. Bake at 350 in 2 greased loaf pans for about an hour. Use the toothpick test.
Best after sitting one day, but that's why I make 2 loaves

This is what I do! I thaw them in my large Pyrex measuring cup.

Super easy recipe using bisquick

2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 large overripe bananas
2 cups bisquick
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Beat eggs. Add sugar to eggs and beat thoroughly. Alternately add portions of Bisquick to eggs/sugar, mixing thoroughly, ending with bisquick. Fold in nuts. Bake in 325 degree oven for 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted is clean when removed.

OK Tina, the bread is in the oven. I'm counting on you here! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

I have a big binder full of my favorite recipes and I cannot find it anywhere. So, this thread is very timely for me because I wanted to make banana bread this weekend and perhaps I will find a replacement recipe for the one I was using.
