What Makes This Banana Nut Bread Extreme?
- Uses four ripe bananas instead of the usual two
- Includes two types of nuts – walnuts and pecans
- Uses brown sugar instead of white sugar for added depth of flavor
- Butter is melted instead of softened for a more moist and tender crumb
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until they are smooth.
- Add the melted butter and brown sugar to the bowl and stir until well combined.
- Add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped walnuts and pecans.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve!
Expert Tips
- Make sure your bananas are ripe – the riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be.
