MAKES 1 large loaf or 4 small loaves
Prepare pans with non-stick spray or coat with shortening.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients:
4 small to medium VERY ripe Bananas *
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup buttermilk
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
½ tesp. vanilla extract
1 tesp. banana extract
2 cups self rising flour
1/4-1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. * Mash bananas with a potato masher or fork so they are still lumpy; don't puree the bananas.
In large mixing bowl:
2. Beat eggs just until blended.
3. Add extracts, oil, and buttermilk, mix just to blend.
4. Add in sugars and mix to blend.
5. Gradually add in flour, mix just to blend..
6. Stir in walnuts.
7. FOLD in bananas - do not beat with mixer.
8. Evenly divide the batter into the prepared pans.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes for large loaf or 30 minutes for mini loaves. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center to see if it comes out clean.
10. Cool on racks for 10 minutes before removing from pans.
11. These loaves keep in the freezer really well. I wrap them in foil and then put them into a zip-lock freezer bag; I have kept them in the freezer up to 3 months without any problems.
