Moist Banana Bread Recipes Update
Hello there fellow moist banana bread lovers,
It’s Louis again. While Andy and I are still figuring out what we can do with this site to make it useful and interesting to you, we are definitely sure that you at least want, well, moist banana bread recipes!
Now, I love my wife. And I love my wife’s banana bread. In fact, one day I will make sure to get Lindsey’s recipe posted on here, and maybe accompany it with some pictures or video or something.
It might be my favorite. I am not sure though.
The reason is because my mom’s banana bread is such good competition for my wife’s banana bread!
As soon as Andy and I started looking at creating a website solely dedicated to banana bread, I wrote to my mom to ask her about her delicious banana bread recipe, and what follows is what her email back:
Here is my best banana bread recipe. It is from Betty Crocker’s Cookbook, copyright 1969, eleventh printing, 1972. This cookbook is in high demand on eBay, and is known as the Pie Book, or the red Pie Betty Crocker Book, not because it has a pie on the cover, but because it has a pie graph on the front w/ pictures of food in each section.
It is not listed as Banana Bread, but as a variation of the Nut Bread recipe.
********************************************************************************
BANANA BREAD
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons salad oil
3/4 cups milk
1 egg
1 cup mashed ripe ripe bananas
1 cup finely chopped nuts
Heat oven to 350°. Grease and flour 9×5x3 inch loaf pan or two 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x2-1/2 inch loaf pans. Measure all ingredients into large mixer bowl; beat on medium speed 1/2 minute, scraping side and bottom of bowl constantly.
Pour into pan(s). Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan; cool thoroughly before slicing.

This is the recipe as it is printed in the cookbook. I no longer grease and flour my pans, but I use Pam or another brand of non-stick cooking spray. People go crazy over this recipe. Most banana bread recipes call for much more oil or butter and leave a grease print on a paper towel or napkin.
Hope this is useful!
Love,
Mom
