Heather's Banana Bread

October 8, 2006 - 1:48am — Jessica

A classic recipe, and a true comfort food. The intoxicating aroma of banana bread as it is baking will make your mouth water. Feel free to add any nuts that your bladder can handle, about a third of a cup works well here.

Served with a little butter or on its own it banana bread makes a lovely snack or breakfast. Do watch out however, as some ICers find the potassium in bananas bothers their bladders.

Thanks go out to Heather (Queensweater), a fellow IC home cook who sent in this lovely recipe.


Heather's Banana Bread


½ cup butter

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs (organic or free range if possible)

3 large bananas, mashed

1 ¾ cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

pinch salt


Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, and beat well. Add bananas and sifted dry ingredients, mix well, but don’t over mix – you don’t want the end result to be chewy.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes (depending on oven) in a greased and floured or non-stick loaf pan.


Yields one loaf of banana bread
