Banana Nut Bread

    When you've got old bananas, make banana bread!  I have been tweaking my banana bread recipe a little here and a little there while trying to taste for each ingredient.  I think it is finally time to share with you all!  However, if you bake it, I want feedback.  Even if you think it is awful, tell me so I can make it better.  This recipe makes two large loaf pans.  Or one big one for yourself, and 3 small ones for your friends. Okay, the recipe:




Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter at room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4/5 ripe banana
3 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix butter and sugar together until creamy.  Use an electric mixer if you have one.  Beat in eggs one at a time.  Add vanilla.

3.  If you are mixing by hand then mash up the bananas prior to putting them in.  If you using an electric mixer you can just add them in chunks of banana at a time.

4. In a separate bowl mix together all the dry ingredients, except the walnuts.  Add this to the wet mixture in about three batches and mix only until combined.  

5.  Finally add in chopped walnuts.  Butter the bread pans and then fill them about 2/3 full. The batter will expand.  If you are having a serious sweet tooth that day you can sprinkle brown sugar on before you make it. 

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.  Test with a toothpick to make sure the middle is cooked.  The top should be brown and crispy.  When you take it out let the bread cool for about ten minutes.  Use a knife to separate the sides and enjoy hot!

Oh good! I hope you try it! If you want it to taste like Starbuck's you better add some butter (maybe 1/4 cup). Mine is kind of light on butter because I usually eat most of it!
