Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Optionally, line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter to the bowl. Mix until combined.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts (or pecans) to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your Very Moist Banana Nut Bread as is, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese for extra indulgence!
