Ba-Nay-Nay Bread

I have been wanting to make banana bread

Ever since I got married,

For some reason the urge didn't appear until after

I tied the knot, haha!:D

I've been letting some bananas lay out on

The counter for some time,

I finally bought the right pan,

Which is also the right plan to make meatloaf WOO!

And asked a bunch of people for their secrects,

I was ready to make some delicious banana bread:)

I used my mom's recipe because you know,

Mom's do it better than anyone;)

Just in case you all had the urge to make banana bread,

And you have nasty bananas laying on your counter,

Here you go:)

Also,

I wish I would have taken a picture,

But it was so delicious that husband and I tore into it before it was cooled down, haha!

Next time though:)

BANANA BREAD

{ mama hawker's recipe }

1/2 cup margarine

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup mashed bananas

{ mother says that if you just break them up and toss them into your mixer it's better than mashing. Also break up about three bananas here, i used three and a half }

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoons lemon juice

2 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts

{ i'm not a nutty person so i usually leave them out, but you could also add chocolate chips here too! }

Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs and beat. Add bananas, milk, and lemon juice. Sift dry ingredients and add. Add nuts. Bake in well-greased 8x4x3-inch loaf pan for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Makes 1 loaf.

Mama Hawker's Tips

. If you want, you can make two loafs out of this recipe. You can make one large loaf or if you have smaller pans, you can make two smaller loafs.

. Check your loaf(s) at 45-50 minutes. Poke the middle to see if the middle is doughy and stuff.

. When loaf is done, immediately dump onto cooling rack

{ or if you are like me and don't own a cooking rack, immediately dump on counter }

Enjoy!:)
