Banana Bread

A here,

For some reason I don't think banana bread tastes as good as it does in the autumn. Maybe because I feel like it's a fall treat. Or perhaps because this time of the year contains a little more love than the rest of the year. Who knows! What I do know is that my family has the BEST banana bread recipe. I refuse to make a different...its that good :)

Here is the recipe:

Cream together

2 Cups sugar

1 Cup melted margarine (I have always used unsalted butter - only because I don't buy margarine)

4 eggs

6 Tablespoons buttermilk 

2 teaspoons vanilla

6-8 bananas

Then mix in

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

4 Cups flour

(I always add the flour one cup at a time...incorporating the flour before I add the next cup)

Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes

This particular go round I only had powdered buttermilk and decided to try it to see if the taste would be any different. Good news: the end result tastes perfect! 

I'm not sure if my sisters do this but I put a pan of water under the bread pans in the oven to keep moisture in there. Just one extra step that doesn't take long at all!

I made 3 loaves out of this recipe yesterday and we have already gone through half! We love banana bread and eat it up quickly every time I make it.

Until next time,

xoxo
