Banana Nut Bread

Recipe Name: Banana Nut Bread

Story: This recipe was given to me by a friend Gayle when I moved out to Madison. I have baked many Banana nut bread recipes but this one continues to be the best.  I am not sure of its origin

Year’s you been making it:  Since 2011

Submitted by: Suzy/ Mom

Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas mashed

2 cups plain white flour
¾ cup white sugar
 ¾ tsp Baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 and ¼ cup walnuts or pecans

¼ cup plain yogurt
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla
6 Tbs melted butter cooled

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Line bottom of loaf pan with parchment paper

Mix dry ingredients together
In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients including the mashed bananas
Take the wet ingredients and fold into the dry ingredients lightly

Place the dough into the pan
Cook for 55-65 minutes.  When toothpick comes out clean it is done

Let stand for 10 minutes in pan then take out and rest on a rack

Make a glaze of butter, milk, and confectionery sugar.  I have not figured the exact ratio yet but it is approximately 2TBS melted butter, 2TBS milk and ¼ cup of confectionery sugar.
Poke holes in the loaf with a toothpick and pour the glaze on.

Notes:  I think one thing that makes this banana bread special is the yogurt, and that you fold the ingredients into on another.  I am not sure the glaze is necessary but it keeps the bread moist for several weeks.
