Substitutions: If you don’t like nuts, you can omit them. Other chopped nuts you can use if you don’t have walnuts are pecans, or substitute the nuts for chocolate chips!

I enjoy making and baking recipes like this and these quick bread recipes. No yeast is needed for this recipe, and baking time is typically 45-60 minutes. I use toothpicks to test the middle during the baking process. The recipe is easy to make by hand using a baking spoon or using a hand mixer. Typically I make my homemade banana walnut bread by hand, especially if I am making only one loaf. The key is not over-mixing the batter.

Helpful Baking Tools and Small Kitchen Tools For This Recipe

You will need a loaf pan, nonstick spray, parchment paper, mixing bowls, measuring cups, measuring spoons, a knife, and a baking spatula. You will also need a masher or fork for mashing the bananas.

Banana Walnut Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 Cups of Flour (all-purpose)
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1-1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (depending on your preference)
• 1 cup of Sugar (white granulated sugar)
• 1/2 a cup of Butter
• 1 tsp. of Vanilla Extract
• 2 Eggs (whisked together)
• 3 Bananas large and ripe (about 1-1/2 cups)
  The more ripe the better. When the bananas are getting dark spots on the skin.
• 1 cup of Chopped Walnuts (1/2 cup for the batter and 1/2 cup for the top).

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. And prepare the loaf pan and set it to the side until needed.

• Prep Time 15 Minutes
• Bake Time 50-60 minutes (See Number 9 bake time may vary by oven or altitude).
• Cool Before Slicing

1. Measure and add to a large mixing bowl the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Slowly whisk to combine the dry ingredients and set the bowl to the side.
2. Melt the butter in the microwaveable bowl.
3. Whisk the eggs together in a small bowl.
4. In a medium-sized bowl measure and add the sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs.
5. Mash the bananas (in a separate bowl) and add them to the mixture.
6. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture by making a well in the center add and stir until combined well (don’t over-mix the batter).
7. Next, stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped nuts. And scoop into a prepared loaf pan.
8. Add the other 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to the top and bake.
9. Towards the end of the bake, test the banana bread as it bakes. When the bread doesn’t jiggle and a toothpick or knife comes out clean it’s done.
10. Let the loaf cool prior to removing it. Cut slices with a serrated bread knife and serve.

Recipe Note: Cool the banana bread with walnuts after baking for an additional 15 minutes. It can still be warm but, cooled down before removing it from the loaf pan and cutting.

Enjoy eating this banana bread with or without butter! If you enjoy soft butter I highly recommend the butter bell crock.
