Carissa Johnson’s Banana Bread

I got the recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook 14th Edition

2 C all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 eggs, beaten
1-1/2 C mashed ripe banana (about 5 medium)
1 C sugar
1/2 C oil, melted butter or margarine


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of one 9x5x3 inch, or two 7-1/2x3-1/2x2 inch loaf pans. In large bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center; set aside.

In medium bowl combine eggs, banana, sugar, and oil. Add egg mixture all at one to the flour mixture. Stir till just moistened (batter should be lumpy)

Bake for 55-60 minutes for 9x5x3 pan or 40-45 for smaller pans, or until wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. (Cover loosely with foil the last 15 minutes to prevent over browning, if needed)
