This banana bread recipe yields an exceptionally moist loaf, thanks to the generous amount of mashed banana and a small addition of milk. It bakes into a single, substantial 9x5 inch loaf that is ideal for slicing and sharing. The method involves creaming the sugar and margarine before incorporating the egg, banana, and dry ingredients, finishing with walnuts for a delightful crunch. The result is a classic, comforting bake with a beautifully browned and cracked top.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup margarine
1 cup mashed bananas
0.5 cup chopped walnuts

Method

Sift the all-purpose flour with the baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Cream the white sugar and margarine together in a large mixing bowl. Lightly beat the egg and combine it with the creamed mixture along with the mashed bananas. Fold in the sifted dry ingredients until just incorporated, then stir through the milk and chopped walnuts. Transfer the batter to a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until the loaf is browned on top and displays characteristic cracks across the surface.
