We all have our favorite banana bread recipes. These are mine.

We like bread. We like bananas. Mix them together and you have one awesome treat. Banana bread recipes come in three basic categories. The traditional banana bread is a quick bread, meaning it is leavened with chemicals such as baking soda instead of yeast.  Banana bread leavened with yeast is the second category, of course. Then we have banana sweet bread, which is a yeast bread but sweetened as the name suggests.

If we expand the definition of our banana bread recipes, we can also include treats such as banana muffins, banana pancakes, banana scones and so forth. We won't even touch on banana cake. That's a whole different story, although an equally delicious story.

Banana Bread Recipes (Quick Bread) 

Banana Orange Nut Bread

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
3 medium to large bananas
1 orange
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup of milk, approximately

Method

Cut the bananas into chunks. Ripe bananas work best.

Grate the orange rind and squeeze the juice. Put juice and rind in cup and add enough milk to make 1/4 cup.

Beat the sugar and oil together. Add eggs and banana chunks and beat until the banana chunks have almost, but not entirely disappeared. Stir in the orange juice mixture. Add nuts and mix.

Mix together the dry ingredients and beat into the wet mixture, combining thoroughly. Add the vanilla and stir.

Butter a standard loaf pan and line with waxed paper. Spoon the batter into the pan and bake in a slow oven (about 275 degrees F) for about 80 minutes. Test for doneness. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 30 minutes. Then turn onto a cake rack to continue cooling. Can be frozen.
