The perfect Banana Nut Bread. This recipe is moist throughout and bakes perfectly.
Banana nut bread has always been a favorite of mine. Plus I always seem to have tons of overly ripe bananas sitting around the house just calling out to me, bake us into a bread! So I obliged 😉
How to Make Banana Nut Bread:
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 4×8 loaf pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. You don’t want to over grease it so add just enough to coat so your bread does not stick. Now peel and mash bananas then add to a stand mixer or you could use a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer. Add in butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix together. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this to wet ingredients and whisk together until well combined but do not over mix. Last, just fold in crushed pecans. Pour batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until cooked through. Allow cooling slightly before removing from pan and serving.
H0w long should I leave the bread in the pan after baking?
To make sure your bread comes out in one peace you want to start with a light non-stick cooking spray before adding the batter. Then after it’s baked leaving it I the pan will help keep it a together. I leave mine about 10 minutes before removing it.
How can I tell when my banana bread is done?
Start checking your bread at the 50-minute mark or even 5 minutes before. Insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean you know it is done.
Can you use another type of nut?
I use pecans for this recipe but you could substitute them for walnuts.
