Marian Daniel's Blender Banana-Nut Bread Recipe: Still the Best....and Easiest

Blender Banana-Nut Bread

From Samples from S.A.M.P.L., a cookbook compiled by the Staff Association of the Middleton Public Library in 1983. I've been making the banana bread recipe since 1986.

Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/3 c. shortening
2 ripe bananas (peeled)
2/3 c. sugar
3/4 t. baking soda
1 1/4 t. cream of tartar
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. nuts
Sugar (for coating loaf pan)

Directions
1. Grease loaf pan (8'x4') and sprinkle liberally with sugar.
2. In blender container, combine eggs, shortening, sugar, and bananas (sliced).
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Add nuts and blend briefly to chop nuts.
5. Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl.
6. Pour blended ingredients over dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
7. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
8. Let stand 5 minutes and turn out on ncake rack to cool.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Marian Daniel worked as a Library Assistant at the Middleton Public Library and on the automation staff of the Link Interchange Network (South Central Library System). She is currently the Circulation Services Coordinator at Amarillo College Library.

There are many of us in Wisconsin who still miss her.
