JAMAICAN BANANA NUT BREAD

My friend Susan in Albuquerque gave me this recipe a few years back. Susan's source was her friend Jeanine, a former student of mine. It's so moist and delicious! It's a treasure because it came from two good friends, whom I love dearly.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 stick butter, melted
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c chopped pecans
3 bananas, mashed

Steps:

1. This is so easy!
2. Preheat oven to 350.
3. Mix vinegar and milk so that the milk will curdle. Actually, I have used 5 tablespoons of buttermilk instead of vinegar and milk. Works just as well!
4. Add everything else, and pour into two loaf pans that have been either sprayed with baking spray or greased and floured.
5. Bake about 40 minutes, depending on your oven. At our high altitude (6400 feet), it takes only about 35 minutes.
6. The longer you have to bake the bread, the darker in color it will be. Delicious, especially warm with a little butter on it!
