This is what I did today. I was in the kitchen preparing to make Banana Nut Bread. I had recently used a recipe from the Land O' Lakes butter web site and I went upstairs to my computer to print the recipe again as I could not readily locate it in the kitchen.
I sat down at the computer and thought...hum...I will just check out a few of my favorite blogs and perhaps the news and read my email and fiddle around a bit.
One hour later I was merrily traipsing down the little yellow brick Internet road, enjoying many posts and comments and adding comments of my own and then;
I went back downstairs to the kitchen and remembered:
I did not even look for the recipe for Banana Nut Bread so here I am back at the computer and printing the recipe for the BN Bread
I might as well share it with you since I am here and it may be too late to bake the bread and besides. it is such a beautiful fall day here I think I will just go for a
wonderful walk instead
Oh Yes...Here is the recipe:
WALNUT BANANA BREAD
This banana nut bread is just like the one Mom used to make. It is a great way to use overripe bananas.
Preparation time: 15 min Baking time: 1 hrs
Yield: 16 servings
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
2 eggs
2 medium (1 cup) bananas, mashed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine sugar, butter and eggs in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add banana and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Stir in all remaining ingredients by hand.
Spoon batter into greased and floured 8x4-inch loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely.
TIP: Banana bread is best the second day. Wrap cooled bread tightly in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
TIP: Walnuts can be omitted.
TIP: Use no-stick cooking spray that contains flour to easily coat loaf pan.
PS I use one more banana and more sugar andcome vanilla and a little cinnamon.

About the computer thingy.. been there, done that.. many, many times. :-)
I LOVE banana bread and am always happy to try a new recipe.
Well --- on the other side of the internet - here I sit collecting a banana walnut bread recipe :)
Thanks Chancy...sounds yummy. Your computer distraction is all too common. How did you keep it down to just an hour? I'm on the computer so much that almost anything else feels like a distraction. Do you think I'm TOO FAR gone? Happy bread-making!
I am getting older! I read "TIP Walrus can be eliminated"!
Had to reread it twice to see that it wasn't you, but me, that was mixed up.
Although, the idea of eliminating a walrus from banana nut bread is pretty good.
LOL LOL Granny---
I made the banana bread today and surprise, surprise...the walrus ate it all. ;) Except he picked out all the walnuts.
That sounds wonderful. I haven't made banana bread in ages. Maybe this weekend I should give it a go. We have some pretty ripe bananas on our kitchen table.
Thanks,
Cas
Well, I could print out your banana nut bread recipe, but hubby has already complained about how blogging enters into every corner of my life, so I will go....?....do something else.
That sounds so familiar - just intend to check out a few blogs and comment a little, before I know it, it's time to go to sleep!
Being on the computer is a lot better then watching TV, with the exception of shows like Grey's Anatomy, The Office, Monk and some morning shows, if I get up early enough to watch them.
Banana Bread sounds great, when I make it it will be WITH walnuts.
