๐ŸŒ This Banana Nut Bread recipe offers moist, tender slices bursting with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas.
๐ŸŒฐ The addition of crunchy walnuts brings delightful texture, inspired by classic grandma-style baking traditions.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 2 loaves

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

– Pinch of salt

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 1/2 cup vegetable oil

– 2 eggs

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/3 cups)

– 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Instructions

1-First, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease two 8ร—4-inch loaf pans to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

2-In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt to blend the dry ingredients thoroughly.

3-Then, in a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract before adding the mashed bananas and stirring gently to combine everything smoothly.

4-Next, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until completely blended, taking care not to overmix for the best texture.

5-Fold in the walnuts to distribute them evenly and add that delightful crunch.

6-Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, then bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

7-If the tops brown too quickly, cover the loaves loosely with foil during the last part of baking to keep them moist.

8-Finally, allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps set the texture just right. This method ensures your bread is naturally dense and moist, perfect for enjoying warm or saving for later.
