Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the baking soda and salt. Then add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until combined.
  • Incorporate Flour: Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
  • Add Nuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the banana nut bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
