I don't let my banana bread or muffins dry out... Place in a plastic bag when they are just a touch warm.... keeps them so moist and wonderful.

Go to AllRecpes and type in Janet Rich banana bread.

When I use my blender to make these things, I can add lots of stuff. Add apples with skins, zucchini, nuts, almost any fruit. I put all wet ingredients in the blender, holding back a little of the milk or whatever liquid I am using. Stir together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the wet stuff from the blender into the dry stuff. Pour that reserved liquid into the blender to "wash" it. Now add that to the big bowl, mix it up and pour into pans.

I made a yeast type banana bread last week, sweetened with Stevia.
1 1/4 cups water, 2 mashed very ripe bananas,3 TB olive oil or whatever oil you like,
8 packets of stevia, 1 1/2 cups bread flour,1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour; you might need a bit more,(I use King Arthur flours), 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 package rapid rise yeast(Red Star is my favorite).
I use my bread machine to mix everything and for the first rise, then grease and flour a large loaf pan and let it rise until doubled. Preheat oven to 350f and bake for 40 minutes. Let it cool 10 minutes after its done, remove from pan, let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Did you know that if you don't have ripe bananas on hand you can use baby food bananas? I keep jars of it just for this reason. I never have ripe bananas when I want one.

I made a loaf last week and put in some candied pineapple rings, chopped up. Really good. Someone gave me the pineapple and I find it too sweet to eat as is. I also put some in cranberry scones, with dried cranberries, super-yum.

I use the Joy of Cooking recipe.

You all are the BEST!

these do sound yummy, thank you one and all, i have saved and will try.

I have made this for years -- got the recipe from my mother and no idea where she got it from. The top has almost a sweet glaze on it. It never lasts long.

Banana Tea Ring
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. almond
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. buttermilk
1 c. mashed bananas
1/2 - 1 c. chopped walnuts 
Powdered Sugar

DIRECTIONS:
Cream Butter and sugars using an electric mixer until light in color. Blend in eggs and almond -- beat until light in color. In a separate bowl (or large glass measuring cup), mix the bananas and buttermilk. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl or onto parchment or waxed paper. 
Alternate adding wet and dry ingredients -- starting and ending with wet. Mix well between additions. Stir in nuts.
Pour in greased tube pan, bunt pan or 2 loaf pans. Bake 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes (or until it pulls away from the sides). Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Dust with powdered sugar when almost cool.

This is one of the easiest and best tasting banana bread. It's made with Bisquick. I hope you like it.
