I realized that we had some bananas that were going bad so I decided to make banana bread the other day. I could not remember my mom's recipe so I had to go with the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook's recipe. (My mom has the Good Housekeeping Cookbook and I absolutely LOVE it! I want it so bad!) It wasn't too far off of my mom's recipe though.
The recipe was:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cooking oil or melted butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1.Grease bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt. Make well in center of four mixture; set aside.
2.In a medium bowl combine eggs, bananas, sugar, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Fold in nuts.
3.Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

This is what it looked like before I put it in the oven....and I forgot to take pictures of after it came out!
