How to Make Banana Loaf 1968

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  3. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 cup of soured milk (or buttermilk). Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 3 ripe mashed bananas and the soured milk mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
