Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher. Add the beaten eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are combined.
  • Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Add Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  • Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Baking times may vary, so start checking around 50 minutes.
  • Cool: Allow the banana nut bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the bread into thick, delicious slices. Serve and enjoy your homemade Banana Nut Bread!
