My mom used to make this banana bread and I've always liked it ... she always called it Grandma Myrt's Banana Bread I guess because there are so many different recipes out there and she needed a way to distinguish this one from the others she had in her recipe box.
Grandma Myrt's Banana Bread
3 - 4 very ripe Bananas (mashed)
2/3 cup Sugar
1 stick Margarine
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
pinch Salt
2 cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
Walnuts, chopped (optional)
1/3 - 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (optional)
Cream sugar and margarine, then add mashed bananas and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Batter will be lumpy and stiff. Place in greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean. Let cool before cutting.
Note: Walnuts can be stirred into the batter or sprinkled on top of batter. Or both :)
I'm testing the temperature and times listed on this recipe. They are definitely not accurate (I baked a loaf at 300 and it took about 75 minutes to be baked through.) I think baking at 350 for 50 - 60 minutes will yield better results. I'll change in the recipe when I've actually tested
