Banana Nut Bread

Ingredients

  • 6 over ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 3 c. flour
  • 1 1/2 whole pecans
  • 1 1/2 c. white raisins optional (I don't use)
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 stick butter unsalted, room temperature
  • 1/2 c. vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the softened butter, sugar, oil in electric mixer bowl and beat until creamy. Add the eggs and bananas next and beat until the bananas are thoroughly mashed. Add all the other ingredients and beat well until combined.
  2. Grease (with shortening) and flour 2 -1 pound bread pans. Divide the batter between the two pans. Bake at 300° for 1 1/4 hours. Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes then turn out on cooling rack to finish cooling.
  3. If you want to freeze the loaves to be eaten later, wrap in plastic wrap then aluminum foil.
  4. Note: I have just tried spraying the pans with cooking spray and have had them to stick. I have found if the pans are greased with shortening then floured you have no problem in removing from pans. When I made these I was out of shortening, so I sprayed then dusted with flour and they came out fine.
