My grandma’s 80th birthday is this weekend and we are having a family reunion up at my parents place. We volunteered to bring banana bread for a breakfast plate, only to discover my wife’s recipe was packed away in storage.
If anyone has a banana bread recipe they love I would appreciate it.
I would also appreciate any zucchini, pumpkin, cranberry, ginger, cinnamon, poppy seed, bread recipes as they are my favorite. (or maybe one recipe with all those ingredients)
Thank you in advance

I’m fond of this one:
Ingredients
2 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1 stick butter, soft
2 tbs sour cream
3 medium way overripe bananas, mashed (about 1 to 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 tea almond extract
1/2 tea vanilla extract
1-1/2 cup flour
1-1/2 tea baking powder
1/2 tea baking soda
1/2 tea salt
1 tea cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
In one bowl, mix or beat eggs, sugar, butter, and sour cream until well blended/fluffy. Add bananas, coconut, extracts, and mix well.
In another bowl combine everything else but the walnuts. Stir it up and then pour it bit by bit into the banana mixture until just combined. Stir in the walnuts.
Spoon the batter into a well greased standard bread loaf. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes.

Someone recently asked me for my recipe and I just took a picture of my cookbook (Better Homes & Gardens, c. 1983)
