Tips:

Walnuts

If you want your banana nut bread with buttermilk and walnuts to be even more delicious, here are a few tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. They should be yellow with brown spots, as they will be sweeter and easier to mash.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature, so it will cream easily with the sugar.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as it can make the bread tough. Stir until just combined.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for a few minutes, and it will thicken.
  • Chop the walnuts roughly, so you can still feel their crunch in the bread.
