Derived from All Recipes, but I made it even better!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup buttermilk or yogurt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or apple sauce
- 1 cup mashed bananas
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray one 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray coating.
- Blend together the eggs, buttermilk, oil and bananas.
- Sift together the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Add to banana mixture and stir in pecans. Mix well.
- Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips
Butter pans and sprinkle with sugar to get a crispy shell and moist bread inside.
Also sprinkle a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and finely chopped nuts on top of your dough before baking.
Frosting for top:
Take 4 oz. of room temp cream cheese, beat it together with 3T milk until smooth. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 t. vanilla and mix until incorporated. Drizzle this over your banana bread when it's done, take a bite and you will swear you've died and gone to heaven.

Oh ya! These really are SO good! (I made them into muffins instead of a loaf...made 14 muffins and baked for about 20 minutes.) I didn't even get a chance to make the frosting recipe before they were gone! Shoot, I'm gonna have to make them again! :)
