Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup black walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until well blended.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped black walnuts and milk, gently stirring until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and gently spread it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy the rich, nutty flavors of Black Walnut Banana Nut Bread either plain or with a pat of butter!
