My husband’s Great Aunt Charlotte had the best banana bread recipe! I never actually ate it made by her, but enjoyed it many, many times made by my mother-in-law. She passed the recipe down to me and I love to make it and fill my home with the wonderful aroma of such a treat baking. I hope you find this an easy and enjoyable recipe for the holidays.
Aunt Charlotte’s Banana Bread
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
4 mashed bananas
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Add the egg and oil to the bananas and mix and then add everything together. Pour into a loaf pan and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.
Depending on the humidity level, you may have to bake it a little longer. When your fork or toothpick comes away clean, it’s done and ready to devour!
