My first encounter with banana bread was my grandmother who used the bananas that were dead ripe to avoid wasting them. But she knew what she was doing! It tastes great! It is also incredibly easy to make and naturally sweet!
Preheat the oven to 350F (177 C)
Sift the following dry ingredients together:
Beat 2 eggs; add sugar and butter or oil.
Combine the sifted dry ingredients with the egg mixture. Then fold in bananas and nuts.
Grease and flour a loaf pan, then pour in the mixture.
Bake at 350 F for 55 minutes, or until a clean smooth butter knife comes out fairly smooth and clean.
