Categories     dessert

Time 3h25m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons walnuts
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
8 ounces strawberries, hulled and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.
  • Roughly chop 1/2 cup of the walnuts, and finely chop the remaining 2 tablespoons, keeping them separate.
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, roughly chopped walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk together the oil, eggs, vanilla and zest. Fold in the bananas and strawberries. Fold the oil mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps). Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and sprinkle the top with the finely chopped walnuts.
  • Bake until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, and let cool completely in the pan on a rack. The bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Utilize ripe bananas: For the creamiest and sweetest flavor, choose bananas that are fully ripe with brown or yellow skin.
  • Freeze fruits beforehand: Freezing the strawberries and bananas prior to blending ensures a thick and icy consistency, eliminating the need for ice.
  • Adjust milk quantity: Depending on your desired consistency, add milk gradually until you achieve the perfect balance between creaminess and flavor.
  • Incorporate yogurt for a healthier twist: For a nutritious boost, substitute milk with Greek yogurt to enhance the protein content and thickness of the smoothie.
  • Don't overcrowd the blender: Avoid overloading the blender to prevent straining the motor and ensure a smooth blend. Blend in batches if necessary.
  • Sweeten naturally: If desired, add honey or maple syrup to taste, keeping in mind the natural sweetness from the fruits.
  • Garnish for visual appeal: Enhance the presentation by topping the smoothie with fresh fruit slices, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
