My husband is going through this Lance Armstrong phase. He's riding his bike, reading biographies, ordering wristbands. So, of course, when he found Lance Armstrong's mom's banana bread recipe, I was required to make it. I have to say, it's the best banana bread I've ever had.
1 stick butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 mashed bananas
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
*Cream the butter, sugar, eggs, bananas, & vanilla.
* Mix buttermilk with soda. Add to banana mixture.
* Mix flour & salt. Add gradually to banana mixture.
* Stir in nuts.
* Bake at 350 for 1 hour, or until center is done.
I add a whole cup of nuts instead of a half cup, because I really like nuts.
