Recipe(tried): Banana Nut Bread (from My Great Recipe cards)

I've had the My Great Recipes cards for years! Here's the recipe...

Banana Nut Bread

3 very ripe large bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 Tbsp. buttermilk or sour cream
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Place bananas, eggs, butter, buttermilk or sour cream, lemon juice and sugar into a blender container or work bowl of food processor fitted with the steel blade. Whirl until smooth.

Mix together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Pour banana mixyure over flour mixture and stir just until flour is moistened. Stir in the nuts.

Turn into greased 9-1/2x4-1/2-inch bread loaf pan or into 2 (3-1/2x7-1/2-inch nut bread pans.

Bake at 350F for 55 to 65 minutes or until bread tests done when a skewer is inserted in the center.

Allow to cool 5 minutes in pan, then turn out onto wire racks.

Tips: Banana Nut bread freezes well and can be sliced while frozen if you do not plan to use the entire loaf at once. This bread is delicious toasted or served fresh. When over ripe bananas are available in the produce section, stock up on them and freeze in freezer bags for making this bread on a moments notice.
