Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
4 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons milk
3 bananas, mashed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
  • Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
  • Add oil, syrup and egg yolks; stir well.
  • Add milk and mashed bananas; stir well.

  • Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into batter.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake at 350 F for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. You can ripen bananas quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will result in a very thick loaf that may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in a dry, crumbly bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This banana maple nut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The bread is also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy nuts, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
