the best banana bread

You should feel very fortunate because I am about to share the BEST banana bread recipe.  It's a family recipe and the only banana bread recipe I use.  It's moist, full of bananas, and beyond good.

Here's the recipe.

First, dissolve the baking soda in the milk and let sit.  In a separate, large bowl, cream your butter and sugar (1/2 cup sugar works fine too if you like things not so sweet).  Then, add your eggs to the butter/sugar and mix.

Then, you add the soda/milk mixture and mix. 

Next, mash your bananas with a fork.  I use frozen ripe bananas.  Just pop them in the microwave for 10 sec on each side to make them easier to peel.

Add them into the wet mixture.

Next, add in the dry ingredients (already mixed together in a separate bowl).  I use whole wheat flour.

Then, stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional but so much better this way).

Spread batter in a greased 4" x 8"??, or whatever the normal size is for a loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean (Stick the toothpick deep into the center of the loaf and if there is no dough on the toothpick when removed, it's done.  If there is dough stuck to the toothpick, tryanother 5-10 minutes and repeat until done.)

I'm not kidding, this is the best banana bread you will ever have:)  Enjoy a warm slice with a cold glass of milk....mmmmmmm.  This bread is even better with farm fresh eggs and high quality butter!
