Banana nut bread

Here’s a recipe for Banana Nut Bread, including ingredients, instructions, and approximate nutrition information:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix in the mashed bananas until incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If using chopped nuts, fold them into the batter at this point.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  8. Remove the banana nut bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. After 10 minutes, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  10. Once cooled, slice and serve the banana nut bread. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
