Grandma Joys Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Blend this mixture into the egg mixture, alternately with the buttermilk; stir just to combine. Fold in the mashed bananas; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes our clean, about 60 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• 2. Cream together sugar, shortening, and eggs in a large mixing bowl or mixer.
• 3. Add flour mixture and sour cream alternately to the creamed mixture.
• 4. Add the mashed bananas and nuts once everything is well incorporated.
• 5. Pour into loaf pans or bundt pan that have been sprayed with non-stick spray and bake at 325 oven for about 45 minutes or until toothpick stuck into center comes out clean.

Steps:

• 1. Cream butter, sugar & eggs. Add salt & baking soda; mix well. Beat in the bananas. Add the flour. Stir in nuts if using.
• 2. Pour into a LARGE buttered loaf pan (mine measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" on the bottom, 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" on the top, 2 3/4" tall.) If pan is not big enough, it will not cook all the way in the center. If you have a smaller pan, don't use all the batter in one pan. The recipe says to let sit at room temp. For 20 min. I never do.
• 3. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45- 60 min., until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5-10 minutes before loosening sides and inverting, letting it cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
• 4. Great out of the oven, even better the next day, if it doesn't get eaten first! Wrap up after it cools completely to keep it moist.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.

• Bake in a preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and white sugar. Stir in eggs, applesauce, bananas and vanilla extract. Fold in raisins and nuts if desired. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, until a knife inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
