Banana Bread Recipe

Banana Bread Recipe

2/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup soft margarine

2 eggs, unbeaten

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup mashed bananas

Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

Mix the sugar, margarine and eggs for 3 minutes. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, walnuts and mashed bananas.

Grease a regular size loaf pan. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool, slice and serve. 

Tips and Variations:

• Replacing the sugar with a sugar substitute like Splenda turns this into a great Diabetic dessert or a treat that those of us watching our calorie intake can enjoy in moderation.
  
• Add extra walnuts on top of the bread before baking for extra crunch.
  
• Here's a simple but great tip. To avoid those pesky strings when peeling bananas, peel them from the bottom end. No strings! It really does work.
