1 cup margarine
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks, beaten
6 tablespoons buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups mashed ripe bananas

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two loaf pans.

Fold in the egg whites with a spatula.

  1. Dwiggie REVIEW:

    This banana bread was wonderful. The little bit of extra time it took to make the meringue was well worth it. My family is already after me to make it again. This recipe is truly a keeper.
