Best Ever Banana Bread
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 80 minutes
Servings: 24

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 cups ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups plain flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I prefer pecans or walnuts) (optional)
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)

This is the moistest Banana Bread you will ever eat. Perfect combination of nuts and chocolate
chips gives you a slight crunch and just the right amount of sweetness.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans.

Combine margarine, oil, bananas,
and sugar.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.

In a separate bowl, sift flour, salt, and
soda.

Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk to batter. Mix well.

Stir in nuts and
vanilla.

Pour into prepared loaf pans. Bake for 75-80 minutes or until pick inserted in center
comes out clean (22 minutes for mini loaves.) Freezes well and makes a nice gift!

VARIATION: Mix
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon together and sprinkle over top of loaves.
