Banana Nut Bread

If, by chance, you're born into my mother's side of the family, one naturally inherits the ability to cook. If you're me, and you miss out on the culinary gene, there is (thankfully) a family cookbook. Following is my Aunt Linda's recipe for mouth-watering banana nut bread:

Banana Nut Bread

1 stick butter (or margarine)

7/8 cup sugar

1 egg

3-4 ripe bananas

1-1/2 cup flour

3/4 tsp soda

3/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup chopped nuts

For bread, bake 50-55 minutes at 350 (or until toothpick inserted comes out clean).

For large muffins, bake 15-20 minutes at 350.

For mini-muffins (Ben's favorite), bake 12-15 min at 350.

It's just so simple. It's just so good.
