Kathy's Banana Nut Bread
When our children were small, we ended up with a lot of bananas that were too ripe. So, I experimented and created my own recipe for banana nut bread. The girls still love it.

If you sprinkle a little flour on raisins, it will keep them from sinking to the bottom.

Greg, this recipe is good for a regular brad loaf pan.
It would be nice if there was a size of the pan listed. What is large to you may not be what is large to me.
Some time ago I saw a banana nut bread recipe that had some diced dried apricots in it. I baked it a few times and it was fantastic. The apricots give a real flavor boost and a pick-me-up for your pallet compared to the sweet banana bread. Try it, you’ll like it.
Some freeze fried strawberries or raspberries are also good flavor bombs in banana bread. Nuts.com has great freeze dried fruits.
This is the best banana bread I have ever made. I really like the cinnamon and even added a dash of nutmeg. I am making it for the second time this week right now! 😀
It was so good! I made two in the same day so my boyfriends mom could try it, I even ordered an amazing bread pan just to make this in! its wonderful & I will use this recipe ALOT! :D
I made the recipe when my family was visiting I made it in the morning for breakfast and let me tell you EVERYONE even my sister in law was inperssed and asked me for the recipe.The next morning everyone asked me to made the bread again.

THIS BANANA BREAD IS GREAT.
PERFECT IS THE ONLY WORD TO DESCRIBE.
NOW IS MY BANANA BREAD.
THANK YOU KATHY
I liked this recipe very much! I made it in a bundt pan, and used an extra banana, and got a very nice, moist banana bread. I have also tried it using the apple pie spice blend instead of cinnamon, and that also came out very well. If you use a bundt pan, check the bread starting at 40 mins (it cooks faster).
