Banana Bread


This is Grandma Minnie's recipe that I changed a little here and there. My children really like this bread, I made it into small muffins this time. Here is the recipe, give it a try!

Needed:
3 cups all purpose flour
2 1/4 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup oil
2 eggs-beaten
2 cups ripe bananas-mashed
1 1/2 t vanilla
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
3/4 buttermilk
1 cup pecans-chopped (optional)

Mix both sugars, eggs, oil, bananas, vanilla, and buttermilk very well. Sift flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together. Add this mixture a cup at a time until all is added. Stir gently just until mixed. At this time add nuts if you wish. Pour into a well greased pan of your choice. Bake at 350' until a toothpick comes out clean. In loaf pans this will be 30-45 minutes. It just depends on what you are making. When I made the small muffins last night they cooked in 13 minutes.
