How To Make delish...banana bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9 x 5 inch pan.
  • Step 2
    In one bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt thoroughly.
  • Step 3
    In a seperate bowl, mix sugar, margerine and eggs together until light and fluffy. Mix in bananas. Add dry ingredients ; stir just until smooth
  • Step 4
    Pour Ito prepared pan. Bake until firmly set when lightly touched in center top, 50 to 60 minutes. (Bread should crack across top.) For a firmer top crust: Cool on rack. Remove from pan after 10 min. For a softer top crust ( my favorite way): Remove from pan immediately from oven and completely wrap in foil. Cool. For variations: use any nut or dried fruit or add grated orange rinds to it.
