Banana Nut Bread

This classic Banana Nut Bread is a moist, flavorful treat that combines ripe bananas and crunchy nuts in a deliciously tender loaf. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a sweet dessert!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1/2 cup butter – Softened, for a rich, tender texture.
• 1 cup sugar – Adds sweetness to balance the banana flavor.
• 2 eggs, beaten – Helps bind the ingredients together.
• 4 ripe bananas, crushed – The star of the show, providing natural sweetness and moisture.
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – The base of the bread.
• 1 teaspoon baking soda – Helps the bread rise.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness.
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds a warm, aromatic flavor.
• 1/2 cup nuts (walnuts or pecans) – For added texture and nutty flavor.

How to Make Banana Nut Bread

1: Preheat & Prepare the Pan

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan (or four mini loaf pans for smaller portions).

2: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3: Add Eggs and Bananas

Beat the eggs and mix them into the creamed butter and sugar. Then, stir in the crushed bananas until well combined.

4: Sift Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.

5: Add Vanilla and Nuts

Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the nuts of your choice (walnuts or pecans).

6: Pour and Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan(s). Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour for a standard loaf, or 35 to 45 minutes for mini loaves. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7: Cool and Enjoy

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
