My dear departed sister made the best pumpkin bread, with walnuts. It was so moist, too. She also made a great banana bread. I guess it's not really the season for it, but I don't care, if I had a recipe, & can find the ingredients. I don't think she used fresh pumpkin. Anyway, any recipes will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I made this banana bread recipe yesterday. It only has 1/3 cup sugar but is plenty sweet from the ripe bananas.
4 bananas, very ripe
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup coarsest chopped nuts (optional)
Break up two bananas in a bowl with a fork and set aside.
In mixing bowl chop up other two bananas, add sugar and mix with a mixer until smooth. Add melted butter, eggs and vanilla and again mix with mixer. Then mix in flour, salt and soda. Finally, fold in the two bananas that were set aside and the nuts. Bake at 340 degrees for 1 hour (mine was done after 50 minutes so make sure to check on it early). Makes one loaf.

Easy Banana Nut Muffins
For Banana Bread instead of muffins, just pour all of the batter into a lightly greased loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a sharp knife inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.
I baked in 8 x 3 tin pan for 60 mins @ 350°.
YUM!!!

I use Antonella's banana cake recipe, it's better than any bread recipe I've tried.

Zhills, thank you for posting the recipe. I have it written down in my recipe drawer and I'd rather see one directly from her. I did make one change, though. Unless you are in good shape with no physical issues, mixing this by hand is downright difficult. Don't tell Antonella but I use my Kitchen Aid and the results are still top notch.
