🍌 Nana Brown’s Banana Bread

Hi there and thanks for stopping by! Today I’m sharing with you a banana bread recipe that’s 4th generation!

This is my husband David’s maternal great-grandmother’s recipe and we thought it was lost forever until I found it in an old email folder from 2014. I was so excited I whipped one up immediately. It’s super simple to make and is such a great way to use up overripe bananas. 

Let’s get baking!

Banana Bread~

Ingredients~

3 overripe bananas

1 c sugar

1/2 c vegetable oil

2 eggs, whisked

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 c buttermilk (or you could use regular milk with a splash of white vinegar)

2 c AP flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

Method~

Mash bananas until smooth.

Mix bananas, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and milk in large bowl.

Add remaining dry ingredients and mix lightly just until combined (it’s ok if there’s a few lumps).

Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!

I just love old family recipes. They’re tried and true and it’s so special when they’ve been passed down through generations.
