Debbie's Banana Nut Bread
I often talk about my banana bread with customers (I make it when we have houseguests) I have been asked a number of times to add to the website...so here it is. My houseguests love the results of this recipe. Also, I always have bananas on hand as I freeze them when over ripened, which means a banana bread can be made at any time. I simply run the banana (skin on) under cool water for a few minutes and it thaws very quickly.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup mashed bananas (2 to 3 bananas2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour*
