Banana Bread (Kristi H)

Banana Bread

1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar (this makes it moister)
1 c. soft butter (not melted)
4 eggs, beaten (take them out when you take out your butter)
6 ripe bananas, mashed
1 t. salt
2 t. baking soda
2 1/2 c. flour
1 c. walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional, my kids pick them out)

Cream together sugar and butter. Add bananas and eggs, beating until well mixed. Add dry ingredients sifted together (or not). Blend well, but don't over-mix. Stir in nuts.

Pour into 2 lightly greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 45 to 60 minutes (it usually takes about 55), until firm in center (use the toothpick test). Cool on a rack for 10 min. before removing from pans.
