I was given this recipe from a dear friend. I think it might originally have been a Bisquick recipe but I'm not certain about that. Store brand biscuit mix is much less expensive and I make this often to gift to those who have invited us to their homes for whatever reason. I never arrive empty handed.

Ingredients For banana bread

  • 1/3 c
    canola oil
  • 1 1/2 c
    very ripe bananas
  • 3
    eggs
  • 1/2 tsp
    vanilla extract
  • 1 can
    sugar
  • 2 1/2 c
    buttermilk biscuit mix
  • 1/2 c
    chopped nuts

How To Make banana bread

  • 1
    Pre-heat oven to 350
  • 2
    Grease pan bottom (I also flour)
  • 3
    Mix all ingredients in a large bowl with a fork (I sift the biscuit mix so I don't get lumps) My husband prefers this bread without the nuts and I love nuts. Many times I will substitute 1/3 cup of almond meal for 1/3 cup of the biscuit mix. As for the bananas - I wait until the skins are black and the bananas are really soft because that adds extra sweetness to the bread.
