Banana Bread
My recipe for Banana Bread came from a former next door neighbour, an older lady who always dressed impeccably, even to weed her garden. I sat in her kitchen one day and watched her grate a large pile of orange rind for this recipe. I think she cheated and used more than one orange!
Pans are buttered and batter is ready!
Grace’s Banana Bread
Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
3 medium bananas mashed
1 orange, rind grated and juiced - require ½ cup liquid altogether so measure juice and add milk if necessary to make enough
1 cup chopped pecans (I always toast the nuts first for better flavour)
2 ½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Mix in order listed. No mixer necessary - we love one bowl baking!
Bake in a loaf pan (I use two small ones) at 300 F for an hour or so - you need to test with a toothpick cause it depends on the size of the pans.
Delicious toasted with butter and a cup of Jasmine Mist tea!
Buon appetito!
