Connie's Banana Bread

Cooking with Red & Connie ~ Banana Bread

Every time someone visits my grandfather or he comes for a visit he bakes banana bread. It is always so delicious!!! A few months ago my friend Cassandra, with whom I am so lucky to work, brought me samples of banana bread she made. Recently I've begun tweaking my own recipe.

I make a double recipe... you start out creaming 1 cup *smart balance and 1 cup sugar

Then, you add four eggs (egglands best for lower cholesterol)

stir together.

Add 2 cups buttermilk and 3 tsps baking soda & stir

Add 2-3 tsps almond extract & stir

Add 4 1/2 cups flour, 2 tsps baking powder about 1 tsp nutmeg and about 4 tsps cinnamon

STIR! =)

Add 8 bananas (mushed)!!!!!

(lots of peals leftover)

STIR =)

Pour into two bread pans and bake in the oven for 60-70 minutes at 375 degrees

ENJOY!
