How to Make Banana Bread Pillsbury's Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the bottom of a 9x5 inch or 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, wrap and store in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
