ingredients
directions
- Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
- *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!

I don’t understand. The directions said for only a quarter cup milk. We tried that with the 2 cups of flour and it was not nearly enough milk. Even with the eggs and butter in the given recipe and it was like a big brick. We had to use WAY more milk to get it to thin out enough to mix correctly. How did you do this with only a quarter cup of milk?

My grandma asked me to pull up a recipe for banana bread for me to make, and I'm never going to use another recipe again... This is just the one! The bread was very moist and very delicious. I poured the batter into two cans, one with pecans and one without, as well as muffin tins and both were so good. The batter isn't enough for two cans and a muffin tin of twelve unless you double the batch. My grandpa smelt the bread all the way from outside since we had the doors open and he basically stole all the bread. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe!!

Best Banana Nut Bread recipe EVER! Followed recipe exactly with a cup of chopped pecans and perfect results. Bread was very moist, matched with perfect texture & had the right balance of banana flavor. Easy to follow instructions and easy to make. Family went "Bananas" over this wonderful bread! LOL Recipe made two loaves in Williams Sonoma Goldtouch pans. (6-cup capacity; 11" x 5 3/4" x 2 3/4" high). Many Thanks for sharing this Prized Recipe!

My partner said its the best banana bread he's ever eaten (but I mustn't tell his mum!) I did two big alterations. I used coconut oil in stead of butter, risky move but it turned out perfect. I also used Amarula (kind like Baileys) in stead of milk and because of that left out the vanille extract and reduced the sugar with 1/4 cup. I added 1/2c cashew nuts because that was all I had nutwise. Super delicious cake!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

On the Banana Bread, this is quite similar to the banana bread we made years ago in 4-H Club. It truly is moist and delicious. The first time I made it, one cold afternoon, when I pulled the milk out of the 'frig it was sour to the point of being thick. Reasoning that sour milk is used in some chocolate cake recipes I used it anyway. It made four of the most beautiful and delicious loaves I've ever eaten!
