Thank you, Sue. It looks perfect! We're going out for whole wheat flour
first thing in the morning. 😄

I'll find the recipe and stick a bookmark in the book. This time, I'm
going to go with Sue's. I'm trying to use more whole grains, and her
recipe has both oats and whole wheat. And she *was* first! ;-)

Thanks so much,
Carol

No oats but I can't see what harm would be in adding half oats and half
flour.

(1) Sift 2 cups flour with 1 tsp. double acting baking powder and 1/2 tsp.
baking soda and 1 tsp. salt. (2) Cream together 1/2 cup of butter with 1
cup sugar. (3) Blend in 2 eggs and beat well. Add one cup of mashed ripe
banana. Mix well. (4) Stir in dry ingredients and fold in 1/2 cup walnuts
or pecans (chopped and optional) and 1 tsp. vanilla extract.

Pour into greased bread pans, pushing the batter into the corners and
leaving the center slightly hollow. It will rise as the bread bakes and
will indicate when it's done. Bake at 350F for 60 minutes. Cool well
before slicing.

Your mom's recipe is like several of my mom's. They don't say what *size*
pans to use! Way back when, I just knew. Now, I'm clueless and never make
some of Mom's quick breads.

Document, document, document! Before losing too many brain cells!

Thanks! I hadn't thought of cinnamon. That would be a very nice touch.
And you can't go wrong with brown sugar!

I still have one of the bread pans! D'oh! They were Pryex glass loaf pans,
1-1/2 quarts. She switched later to slightly larger metal pans but I don't
think she ever changed the recipe.

Would you settle for a (TNT) Maple Banana Bran Muffin recipe?

Someone else might. <G> I'm just not a fan of maple unless it's on
pancakes or similar. Banana bran does sound intriguing, though. Do you
suppose a person could use corn syrup or honey in place of the maple?

Grrrr! We just got back from the store, where we bought the wrong size
loaf pans - I'm not going back out there for disposable pans (we don't have
enough for real pans right now). Sue or anyone ... can you recommend a
baking time for the above recipe, in 11-34x5-1/2x3-1/4" loaf pans? I'm
figuring three loaves instead of four (we have 8 overripe bananas), or am I
off on that, too?

Carol,
Check with a toothpick after 40 min. Be sure to hit the center.

I made three enormous loaves tonight. I didn't care for it 2 minutes after
it came out of the oven, but as it cools, it just gets better and better.
I did goof up by baking it in disposable pans that were too big for the
recipe. They baked for an hour and 20 minutes. The outside edges got a
little too well done (like there's a thick crust all the way around from
baking so long in very thin pans). ALL MY FAULT!

I'm planning on making future batches into muffins. Mmmmmm! And no more
batches including 8 bananas and a dozen eggs! *grin*

Thanks, Sue!

Wow- that's a lotta banana bread! I've done muffins before (the big
muffin size) and it works out well. Muffins are handy for taking for
lunch (although I can only eat 1/2 at a time of the big ones) and for
freezing.

This is heavy on the oatmeal and whole wheat flour. Very healthy but
the texture is going to be different from typical banana bread. I
often add mini-chocolate chips which makes it .... healthier of course
:>

Possibly honey, but I am not sure the effect would be as good. I am not
a fan of corn syrup. Now that is is in almost EVERYTHING, I have become
aware of a difference in flavor that it imparts. Hard to explain. It
is sort-of a dull sweetness???? I dunno.
