Aunt Sharon's Banana Bread

Everyone is always looking for a good banana bread recipe and our family is no exception.  Just last month a bunch of us were having lunch with my Granny when my cousins were discussing who had a trustworthy concoction to use up old bananas.  I was not surprised when my cousin Kerri said that she had one of Aunt Sharon's, it was at that time I could picture myself sitting at the end of the table at the Hogan Farm on one of my summer visits savouring a piece of moist banana bread with butter softened from the heat of the afternoon.  Kerri sent of the recipe shortly there after and naturally I am sharing it with all of you!

Here's a tip from my cousin Amber, mash up your old bananas and measure them into 1 cup portions, throw them into ziplock bags for storage until you are ready to bake and voila .... premashed, premeasured and ready to go!

Ingredients
2-3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup of butter, softened
2 eggs
1/2 cup of buttermilk
splash of vanilla
2 cups of flour
1 tsp of soda
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of walnuts

Combine the wet ingredients
Add dry ingredients except the nuts and mix well until combined
Add walnuts if desired

Bake at 350 .....
Loaf Pan - 1 hour, 10 minutes
Mini Loaf Pan - 55 minutes
Large Bar Pan - 18 to 20 minutes

YUMMY!!!!  Enjoy!
