Banana Walnut Bread
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups mashed overripe bananas
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking equipment by lightly coating two 9x5-inch loaf pans with butter or cooking spray, then dusting them with flour to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients of three essential components: flour, baking soda, and salt.
4
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together sugar and butter until they form a smooth, harmonious union.
5
Introduce the next three key ingredients - bananas, eggs, and walnuts - into this mixture, stirring until they are fully incorporated.
6
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until they are well combined.
7
Divide this delicious batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, ensuring each one receives an equal share.
8
Place these loaves in the preheated oven and bake until a paring knife inserted into the crown of each loaf comes out clean, which typically takes 60 to 70 minutes.
9
Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in their pans for at least 5 minutes, giving you time to prepare the next step.
10
Turn out these loaves onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely, which should take around 30 minutes.
11
Finally, slice your loaves and serve them to your guests. For an added layer of flavor, wrap each loaf in aluminum foil to retain moisture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
