Fool-Proof Bananan Nut Bread

By á-6382

I don't really enjoy baking as much as cooking because I always seem to find a way to mess up the perfect combination of ingredients; always resulting in a baking disaster. However, I never mess up my mom's super easy banana bread. It turns out perfectly moist every time. Thanks Mom!

Ingredients

• 3/4 c. butter softened
• 1 1/2 c. sugar
• 1 1/2 c mashed bananas (4 med.)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 c. flour
• 1 heaping tsp. baking soda
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. buttermilk
• 3/4 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325. Cream butter and sugar together in a food processor. Blend in bananas, eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry and alternate with buttermilk until all ingredients are blended and a batter is formed. Pulse in chopped nuts. Pour into greased baking pans and bake for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

My method (since I don't bake) is to throw all the ingredients except the nuts into the food processor at one time. Blend them all together until a batter forms. Pulse in nuts. Then follow baking instructions. My method seems to work just fine every time!
