Banana Bread at the Homestead

Last Updated:  September 3, 2023

Banana bread recipe. We make this bread on occasion at the homestead.

I realize that we don’t grow bananas at our homestead in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania and you are probably asking “why is this here?”.  I know I have a lot of pride in producing nearly everything we eat.  But,….well…sometimes you just want banana bread.  Plus someone had asked me about my easy peasy banana bread recipe.  So, here you go!  

If you can, save yourself a little money and buy the marked down over ripe bananas at the grocery store.  Overripe bananas are sweeter and seem to make the bread more moist.  (Don’t forget to buy organic, too)!

Banana Nut Bread

Ingredients:
3-4 ripe bananas
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 t. salt
1  t. baking soda
1/2 cup course chopped nuts (I use walnuts)

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Grease loaf pan.
3. Mix ingredients together and pour into loaf pan.
4. Bake for one hour or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. 

That’s it!  Easy peasy!  Enjoy!  Don’t forget to put your banana peels in the compost heap.
