Grandma's Banana Bread

My Grandma's Banana Bread is the best. I love it. It never lasts long in our house.  It makes a great "housewarming" treat, it's great for breakfast, it's great for a snack. It's just great. It's so easy too!

I love bananas, I usually buy some every week at the grocery store.  Sometimes I buy extra so I can make banana bread.  The best bananas to use for this are the over ripe ones. If you're like me this could be the ones that have lost the green color by the stem... or you could wait until they are slightly brown.  The riper they are the more banana flavor they will add to the banana bread.

Ingredients:

1 c. sugar

1/2 c. Vegetable Oil

2 eggs

3 bananas- smushed up

2 c. flour {I use 3/4 c. whole wheat flour and 1 1/4 c. all purpose flour}

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 c. wheat germ {this is optional, if you use wheat germ, don't use whole wheat flour}

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine ingredients in the above order, add the baking soda before the flour though.  Add the flour 1/2 c at a time to make sure it is well incorporated.

Pour batter into a well greased 10" loaf pan. Bake for an hour {check it after 50 minutes though}.

This is how quickly banana bread disappears at my house... delish!!
