Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter ((softened) - 115 grams)
2 Eggs ((large))
3 Bananas ((ripe & large sized) - 345 grams - Roughly 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas)
2 Cups Flour ((all purpose flour) - 240 grams)
1 Cup White Granulated Sugar (- 200 grams)
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts (- 115 grams - 3/4 cup for inside the batter and 1/4 cup sprinkled on top of the batter)
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (- 5 milliliters)
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda (- 5 milliliters)
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder ((aluminum free) - 5 milliliters)
1/2 Teaspoon Salt (- 2.5 milliliters)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Mash bananas with a fork.
  • Soften butter in a microwave.
  • Stir eggs, bananas and butter together.
  • Mix in remaining ingredients (except the chopped walnuts). Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
  • Add 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts to the batter (and save the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts for later). Make sure the chopped walnuts are evenly spread throughout the batter.
  • Pour finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts on top of the batter before placing into the oven.
  • Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes.
  • Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.

QUICK & EASY BANANA NUT BREAD

This is a good quick bread that I have made since 1967 when I was a newly wed. I had never had homemade quick breads before that time and an Army Wife introduced me to them and the rest is history.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a taller, denser loaf of bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 1 hour.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
