I could win a prize for my banana bread.
My first posting for this recipe in August 2008 was a straight copy from Betty Crocker's recipe. I've since put my own touches to enhance the moistness and flavor. My family LOVES this recipe.
For you, I share my recipe.
WIDNEY BANANA BREAD
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened

1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups white flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
(Optional: Nuts. I don't but you can)
Note: You can make this healthier but it won't taste as good so don't tell people it is my recipe.

This recipe is adapted from Betty Crocker's 40th Anniversary Edition Cookbook, Prentice Hall, (c) 1991. I didn't follow some of their directions and added my own but most of the credit goes to them.

Calories in a Banana and the potasium content as well as being rapidly absorbed from the intestines makes it a good source of fast calories
I am so going to try this recipe soon. I actually have a banana bread recipe that I think is super yummy, but I'm going try yours to see if maybe it's better :) Thanks!
