Anyone have a banana bread / muffin recipe?

[Bucky]

Hi - does anyone have a quick and easy banana bread or muffin recipe you use?  I've got some bananas that need to be used up and don't want to waste them.

Thanks.

You can't get into the Cooks Country site unless you give them your email address which I hesitate to do.....

I have one that I use that is in my 1977 Betty Crocker cook book. It is delicious.If you need it I will post it.

My 1977 cook book was a gift to me at Christmas from my younger sisters. The poor thing is falling apart, burned, stained, the binder torn,etc....but the memories associated with it...I just can't retire it.

Thanks gals. 

I have my mom's 1950 Betty Crocker Cookbook (she received it as a wedding gift) - I'll look in there under banana bread.

I have some earmarks in my own Betty Crocker Cookbook dated from the 1970's and yes, it's seen better days, but it's a keeper!

I make the ones on Allrecipes.com called Banana Muffins II  http://allrecipes.com/recipe/banana-muffins-ii/Detail.aspx.  I add a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter as other reviewers suggested and I love them!  They rise well, too.  My kids love bananas so much they'll eat them green  so we never have any sweet delicious spotty ones unless we hide them from the kids

Martha Stewart has a wicked good recipe. YUM.

Well, Bucky --- I'm sitting here with a nice cup of tea waiting for my invitation .......

A66ey,

We haven't received that invite yet, have we?  Hmmm...

Bucky, I suppose I'm so late that your bananas would have rotted waiting for my post, but I have a good recipe, too, if you'd like me to post it!

You can also freeze overripe bananas in a ziplock bag. I recently tried it and the bread turned out fine.

So, how did the bread come out?  And most importantly, is there any left to share?

Mmmmmm . . . take a deep whiff . . . fresh out of the oven banana bread!!   

Every time I "thought" about making it the last couple of days I'd look through my ingredients needed and see that I either didn't have something, or what I did have, was very old and needed to be replaced.  So . . . had hubby stop at grocery store on his way home from work for the ingredient that needed replacing (didn't want to make a special trip to the store - so had him stop as he drove by it on the way home from work), and I got 'er done tonight! 

It's still cooling off right now - smells yummy!  I went with Betty's recipe (as in Betty Crocker).  I probably could have taken it out of the oven a little sooner as it is quite brown - but, it isn't burnt.   

Mmmmm . . . guess what I'm having for breakfast??  (might have to sample a little taste tonight  )

Sweet dreams everyone . . . .
