Odd coincidence: This was the first recipe I ever asked my mom for after I moved out. Its always been one of my favorites, too!
I have made banana nut bread about 6x's in the last month. lol. I was playing around with recipes on the internet. Didn't really find one that had a really good flavor so I went on the search for my cook books and ran across my Betty Crocker cook book and found that ole' familiar page. The memories came rushing back and my husband said that was it!! He liked that recipe the best. It's a good one for sure. Just don't over cook the bread or it will be too dry. In our electric oven, these loafs are done in 45 minutes.
Thank you so very much for this recipe! I lost my old betty crocker cookbook several years ago after relocating to Texas and have been missing this recipe ever since! I made this many times as my kids were growing up and it always made the best, moistest banana bread ever! The trick is to ripen your bananas as much as possible...a good gauge is when you "think" they are ready to be thown out...Thank you again!
I've destroyed that page in my cookbook, batter splatter, lol. Thanks so much for posting it. It really is the best banana bread recipe, hands down!
@ Joy, Yes, it is certainly the most used page in mine too!! LOL, Feel free to befriend me on Facebook as well! Amber Orahood-Strock :)
