Bread - Banana Nut Bread

By BlueSchmoo

Bon Appetite cookbook recipe

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups AP Flour (recommend KAF)
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 2 ripe medium bananas, mashed
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup Canola oil or 1/4 Cup oil + 1/4 Cup Applesauce
• 1/4 cup plus 1 TB buttermilk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Butter and flour a 9x5x3 loaf pan. The recipe says metal, I used stone.

2. Whisk bananas and eggs in large bowl to blend. Add remaining ingredients and stir to blend well.

3. Transfer to pan. Bake until top is golden brown and tester comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs is good). This will take anywhere from 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

4. Cool in pan for 20 minutes, then finish cooling on rack. Bread is best the next day, with a big slab of butter.
