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.
 
Hmm suddenly I have a craving for Banana bread! Too bad I don't have a wife to force to make it for me. I might try making it myself lol.

Yes, Darin has pointed this out to me. Thank you. Glad I didn't put in the part about liking to lick the spoon! :shocked:

I'm consumed with guilt. Guess I'll have to go back to my Catholic church so I can confess.

Maybe after the banana bread cools. ;)

It's nothing, without the NUTS. :poke:
I think the buttermilk really adds to it.


Now let's see if you guys can twist THAT into something interesting. Winner gets rep. :D

Well, ya gotta massage the container before it becomes buttermilk. That really makes it better. :thup:
