I eat a banana everyday, it is part of a diet plan that I adhere to for a healthy heart and since I eat so much of everything else so often I feel the banana does help. What doesnt count in my banana ritual is when I make something out of the banana, like bananas foster or in this case a banana nut bread. Somehow in my warped way I have determined that the banana has to be eaten straight from the peel in order for it to have its healing properties. Silly, I know.
Believe it or not this is the first time I have ever made banana nut bread and it is so good when it is fresh and hot and slathered in sweet creamery butter.
Banana Nut Bread
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 soft, ripe bananas, mashed

I've made banana bread so many times I can almost make it without a recipe. The reason is that I feel the same way you do about eating a banana every day (from the peel). Sometimes I get too many or don't eat them daily, so I have to use them or throw them away. Your banana bread looks good (of course).
What in the world is going on? Doggy is voluntarily posting a recipe? The bread looks wonderful but I don't like bananas or banana bread- no offense intended to your banana- they just make me burb, however I love cucumbers and they don't do that to me :)
This looks very yummy. I like banana nut bread. I've actually been looking for a simple recipe. I may just have to try this.
I LOVE to bake with bananas.. my favorite involves adding chocolate chips, of course. Now, Id like some after seeing this picture!
joy: lets see 2 cups of flour 2 eggs a cup of sugar and a half cup of butter - thats pretty much it..
snugs: the recipe is so simple thats why....
jenn: recipes dont get to much easier than this one
donna: I almost added coconut and choco chips....
Oh, a recipe! Excellent!
We must use darn near the same recipe..
looking good!
I like it with chocolate chips, too. I feel the same way about eating some fruit every day. I eat vegetables without thinking of it, but with fruit I have to remind myself.
Don't tell anyone, but bananas are my kryptonite.
Now you know.
5 star: I broke down and posted instructions - I do that sometimes
buff: I cant see how it can be much different
tavolini: its like drinking water in the winter - the effort has to be there
stacey: they make you weak?
I love banana nut bread...sometimes I like to smear on some cocoa hazlenut spread (Nutella) over the top of the loaf.
Try it with sour cream in the recipe. I think I've posted it somewhere. I could live on banana bread, and, of course, you've seen the photos of my case of bananas on top of the fridge after the food deliveries! My mother in law adheres to the banana a day rule, even though she doesn't like them, and she's a nurse, so you're on to something healthwise.
[hot bannana nut bread]
Yeah!!!!!!!
Hey for a minute there I thought that was Amish Bread. Did you ever make your starter bag?
harmony: nutella sounds perfect
marjie: you know I totally though of you when I was making this - I have some amish friendship bread starter I would like to send your way...
micky-t: you got that right!
mo: I need to make that - soon!
I made banana nut bread muffins yesterday too!
I LOVE Banana Nut bread. And you are right, it is so freaking good fresh out of the oven, but my problem is, I eat WAY too much when I make it.
You're still getting your vitamins and minerals from the fruit this way. At least we think so!
I feel so dumb. I have never put butter on it. Doh.
Looks so good ... especially the slice slathered in butter. Heavenly!
I always keep an extra loaf in the freezer for company.
did someone say bananas make them burp? how weird, never heard that.
next time you make this add in some toasted coconut (not plain, but toasted).
TBD: its a banana craze!
bina: just tell yourself its good for you - I think it is
duo: I'll go with that....
real: what? I put butter on butter
diva: seconds after the photo it oozed into the hot bread
dawn: toasted coconut sounds so perfect - I want to make a loaf now with coconut and dang it I am going to...
this looks like such a nice, simple banana bread- I love it!
I have never made nana nut bread, looks fab. oh, what a breakfast plate, i can smell it right now. melted butter.-- yummieeeeeeeee where you at, doggybloggy?
I'm making this today. I love banana loaf and we always have loads of bananas in our fruit bowl. Between you and Buff I really don't need to think much. Everytime I visit - I get great ideas.
Wow - I can't believe you've never made banana bread before, it's so tasty and such an easy way to use up ripening bananas....this looks great!
healthy: way too simple really
sophie: I took dawns suggestion and made two more with toasted coconut
belle: food blogs are functional....LOL
hornsfan: I usually peel and freeze them since we are smoothie addicts around here...
Yum! I don't think I'd want to eat a uncooked banana every day but I love banana bread. I like it hot, spread with cream cheese.
oh dog....ya baby. this is good. and the pic with all the butter? DAMN!!! good stuff.
Damn your dog eats good! ;)
