Banana Bread

Here's my recipe for Banana Bread. This is an old family recipe, and it's super good. Even better if you use REAL butter and REAL buttermilk. It's definitely not health food, though! You can make it a little healthier by substituting applesauce for part of the butter, and whole wheat flour for part of the all-purpose flour, but it's not as good that way. Still good, but not GREAT. Better yet, splurge once in a while and make it the old fashioned way... mmmmm....


Banana Bread

1 Cup Butter
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
2 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Bananas, mashed
1/2 Cup Chopped Nuts, optional

Mix all ingredients just until incorporated and turn out into a well greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until done. (Or use a muffin tin and bake 18-20 minutes.)
