Ingredients

Ripe Bananas
The first ingredient you'll need is three ripe bananas. Look for ones that are mostly brown and soft to the touch. Other ingredients include:

  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Mixing Bowl
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and set it aside.

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they are smooth. Add the melted butter and stir until well combined.

Whisk
Next, add the baking soda and salt to the mixture. Stir well. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly. Finally, add the flour and chopped walnuts. Mix until everything is well blended.

Loaf Pan
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Success

Slice Of Banana Bread
To make the perfect banana nut bread, use super ripe bananas. You want them to be almost black on the outside and very soft. This will give your bread a strong banana flavor and help it stay moist.

Another tip is to use a toothpick to check if your bread is fully cooked. Insert the toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, your bread is done. If there is still wet batter on the toothpick, bake the bread for a few more minutes and check again.
