I'm really lazy when it comes to baking. I use a mix and I add really ripe bananas and walnuts to it.

Here is one my family loves. 3 cups all purpose flour- 3/4 tsp. salt-1 tsp soda-2 cups sugar-1 tsp ground cinnamon- 1 cup chopped nuts-3 eggs beaten- 1 cup veg. oil-2 cups mashed bananas- 1 8oz. can crushed pineapple drained- 2 tsps vanilla extract. Combine first 5 ingredients; stir in nuts. Combine remaining ingredients add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans and bake at 359 for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes then turn out on rack to finish cooling. This comes from a Southern Living cookbook.

Mmmm... they all sound yummy!

I found this on youtube and is the very best recipe ever. My Banana Bread was always a total disaster until I started making this one. I am sure you too will enjoy this recipe.

The recipe on the bag of White Lily All-purpose flour is about the best one I have used, and it's pretty easy to do.

In order to get my kids to eat Banana bread, I added chips - didn't matter if it was chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips.
