OLD FASHIONED BANANA BREAD

A recipe from defunct magazine, City and Country Home. I've never tasted better. Delicious warm or cold, cut in slices and buttered. I actually prefer it after its been cooled down and refrigerated. The texture is more chewy and moist.

OLD-FASHIONED FRAGRANT BANANA BREAD

From "A Passion for Baking" by Marcy Goldman, a cookbook I recently purchased that has taught me much about baking. This batter is amazingly light, as is the finished loaf. As you can see from my picture, if you give into the wonderful fragrance and try to slice this while it is warm, it may break into yummy pieces!

OLD FASHIONED BANANA BREAD

My favorite banana bread. This recipe can be easily made into a 9x13 cake, also. I have been making this bread for years and I prefer it to others I have tried. This is a moist, flavorful bread or cake and it uses vegetable oil and whole wheat pastry flour to make it a little more healthy.
