Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 pieces eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set the dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your 'Go Nuts and Bananas' bread. Enjoy it as is or with a smear of butter or cream cheese!
