Best Banana Nut Bread

"From the book "Better Homes and Gardens All-Time Favorite Bread Recipes" This is the best banana bread recipe that I have ever been able to find. Sometimes I will add a little more banana and will only mash it slightly ( because I like a moist bread)"

  1. I’ve made this recipe probably 50 times over the years. It’s great for mini sized too, just bake 30 minutes. We love chopped walnuts. My Mom loves when I make her the mini version.

  3. This is truly the BEST Banana Nut Bread! Part of my recipe from the book I have was ripped out and after searching for quite a while, I couldn't find the missing piece. I decided to try and find it on line, and I can't tell you how happy I was to find you had posted it! Thanks so much for posting this recipe!!!!
