    I make this once a week. I cut the oil down to 1/4 cup and I add a small pkg of dry instant banana pudding mix. I cook in a 10x13x3 rectangle cake pan, but it could definitely be
    cooked in loaf pans. I don't frost it. It's definitely yummy and moist.

    Here is my favorite Banana Bread recipe. It has won a lot of ribbons for me at our county fair and also the Indiana State Fair.

    MOIST BANANA BREAD

    1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup butter or margarine
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 eggs
    3 ripe bananas (1 cup) mashed
    5 tablespoons sour milk
    1 teaspoon soda dissolved in the sour milk
    2 cupsflour
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 cup chopped nuts(optional)

    Blend sugar, shortening, and salt. Add eggs, then bananas. Add sour milk alternately with flour. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Pour into 1 large or 2 small greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until done. Let stand 10 minutes before removing from pans. Finish cooling on wire racks. Store in air-tight container. Freezes well.

    One of my go to sites for any recipe is foodgawker.com. You can check it daily or even search for a specific recipe. Put in Banana Bread and you will get all the ones that have been put on Foodgawker.com. You can save the recipe's you like by taping the heart and you have your favorites you can always refer back to. This site is almost as addictive as QB.

    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup flaked coconut
    1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds or pecans), toasted
    1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 medium)

    1/4 cup vegetable oil

    Here is my Grandmothers, I have never had better. It is actually a cake, it is very moist. I often save left over ripe bananas by freezing them in the peel. When I want to make a cake I pull them out.

    Beat Butter, sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and milk, baking soda mixture. Then add banana, and vanilla. Lastly add chopped pecans. Put cake into a cake pan (we always put it in a loaf pan, and it would take forever to cook)
    Bake at 350 degrees.

    When I was growing up as I said we put it in a loaf pan. However it takes forever to cook this way, and it is better in big cake pan--you know the rectangle 13x9 I think. It has a bit of a crunchy top from the sugars in the cake. Frost if you like, or serve it up as banana nut bread.
