Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 156 g
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature, plus more for preparing the pan
- 1 cup sugar 200 g
- 3 very ripe bananas about 1 cup when mashed
- ½ cup toasted walnut pieces 120 g
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (or 175 °C). Butter a 5x3” loaf pan with butter.
- Then put the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and mix well. Mix the vanilla extract and eggs in a separate bowl. Set these aside for now.
- Step 2:
- Use a stand mixer or a hand-held electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until it turns light and fluffy. Next slowly pour the egg mixture into this butter. Keep stirring all the while to mix these ingredients well.
- Next, add the bananas and remove the bowl from the mixer.
- Step 3:
- Use a rubber spatula to mix the dry ingredients (the flour mixture) into this batter. Sprinkle the nuts over it and fold them in. When all the ingredients are well incorporated, pour the batter into the loaf pan and pop it in the oven.
- Step 4:
- Bake for about an hour. Use a toothpick to check if the bread is done. Insert it in the middle of the loaf; if it comes out clean you can take out the pan of the oven.
- Let it cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes before removing the bread from the pan. Wrap it in a plastic wrap and set it aside until you decide to serve.
