1 c Butter
2 c Granulated Sugar
4 Eggs; beaten
6 Ripe Bananas; mashed
2 ts Baking Soda
1 ts Salt
2 c All purpose Flour
1/2 c Macadamia Nuts chopped
In a bowl cream the sugar and the butter well until a
light lemon color. Then add the squashed bananas and
the beaten eggs. Stir well until all ingredients are
completely mixed. Sift the flour, the salt and the
baking soda into the creamed mixture then add the
chopped nuts. Again mix until blended but make sure
you do not mix the batter too much. Pre heat the oven
to 350 degrees and when the oven is up to temperature
pour the batter into two prepared loaf pans and bake
for 45 minutes. Before my wife died she often watched
while I was making a mess in her kitchen doing my
imitation of a bakery chef. She said that the Kona Inn
Banana Bread should be renamed Garbage bread because I
never stuck to the recipe and added all sorts of thing
that I found such as any kind of chopped nuts, lemon
and orange zest, chopped apricots, chopped mango,
coconut flakes and one time I even added some
mincemeat that was left over after baking some mince
pies. Perhaps the Kona Inn should have taken me to
court and forced me to stop making changes to their
Banana Bread. Perhaps my use of their name for the
resulting strange flavored versions of their Banana
bread had something to do with their going out of
business some years ago.
