Banana walnut loaf

Banana bread with walnuts – perfect breakfast and dessert recipe!

This is simply the best recipe I have so far for the most moist, perfectly sweetened, and easy banana bread. I added walnuts to this recipe, but they are totally optional, even though I love my banana bread with walnuts. This recipe is so easy, you don’t even need a mixer – just mix everything with a big wooden spoon!

Servings - 12 Yield - 1 loaf

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup butter

• ¾ cup brown sugar

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 3 cups mashed overripe bananas

• 1/2 cup crushed walnuts

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease the loaf pan.

• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Add the crushed walnuts to the mixture and stir again. Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and place a few walnuts on top.

• Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let the bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Enjoy :)
